He gets exercise everyday with Dan, there’s a video they take a walk together in their neighborhood. A very good idea for his fitness and diverting his attention esp for someone with Dementia❤.. Dan and his family + siblings are a good care taker for their Dad. He does not need to be in any facility.

YES!! The post-it’s made a big difference with my Momma’s dementia and my sanity. Had them all over the house. Talking about her past was the easiest; then her memory was sharp and it calmed her in a way nothing else could. YOUR patient response is perfect. I noticed family members that became impatient with all the questions would agitate her & eventually she would not talk to them at all; only the “nice” people! You are doing great!
