I used to be the activity and social director of an assisted living community (specialised in dementia care) and the best advice I can give (not that you asked) is to get her to talk about her life as much as possible so you can help her with her memories by "cueing" her as she starts to forget things. By cueing her to remember the "good times" you will be able to bring her back to pleasant days. If you need any tips, resources, etc for this kind of thing, feel free to contact me and I can direct you to some great resources or ask the activity director of her community if they have a resource library (most places do and also support groups to help). When I was working, I would try to bring in my love of vintage by dressing like the ladies dressed when they were keeping their homes, raising their families, socialising, etc...they LOVED this. When you visit her, wear the vintage fashions you love and they will notice...you will get so many conversations started just by looking a certain way. You will not bleive how this will brighten days. I could go on and on...but again I know I am giving unsolicited advice, it is just something very near and dear to my heart.<br /><br />TiffanyDFWgirliegirl Housewifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14802378347475706380noreply@blogger.com
