An outstanding example of kindness. A dear friend of mine had Alzheimer's (she passed last year) The ad is accurate about the fact that old memories are the strongest & newer ones are forgotten quickly. And it's wonderful to see an older person in an ad. People dismiss seniors like they're outdated nothings. Thank you for uploading it.

Even if they seem to be not there, cognitively, sit with your loved one, hold their hand, brush their hair, make sure they have enough to drink, do they still like treats? What can you do for them? They still love to get out of the house just like in this video, and ours who was an accomplished pianist, loves to sing with me. So don’t give up on them ever. They need you and they need attention & to be touched and hugged and held , just like us.
