This blog is written to provide information and support to persons who are providing care for someone with dementia. A first indicator of dementia is when someone has trouble doing a task once familiar and easy for them. If you have begun to be concerned about someone's memory or cognitive processing, help the person receive a physical exam, to include lab work, and an appointment with a neuropsychologist for an evaluation of memory and cognitive processing.

Memories can be purposeful
It occurred to me overnight that my last posting served more than reminiscing. In the diversion curriculum I wrote, to divert youth from using alcohol and other drugs, I incorporated Dr. William Miller's Stages of Change. One of the most useful strategies in creating and maintaining change in one's life is to remember when one implemented a similar change. Very powerful tool.
