"A supportive community can foster serenity, courage and wisdom," Eileen Flanagan.
While in a social setting recently a person directed a question about the content of the constitution to an attorney who was present. I knew that Dwane would know the answer to the question, so I directed the question to him. And, indeed, he did know the answer. As part of providing care, I also choose to take on the task of raising peoples' awareness of and respect for the person with dementia. Just because a person has dementia does not mean he/she does not have something to contribute. We help not only the person with dementia, but society at large, when we increase others' awareness of and respect for every person.
