"Just trust yourself, then you will know how to live." Goethe
Some how it seems, we all are victims of unwanted and unsolicited advice. I met with a couple recently who were questioning their parenting because so many people felt it was their business to tell them how to do it -- and to do it differently from what they were currently. The same is true for caregiving, we will have people who have the audacity to tell us how we should be doing the caregiving; and it seems these are always people who are not willing to help with the caregiving in any way. Let us trust ourselves. We will know what it right for us. When we have a decision to make, let us get the advice of a few, true friends or experts, and let us not pay heed to the advice that is not solicited and is not helpful or true for us.

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.
