Words of reassurance left for an elderly lady with dementia by her daughter. A simple white board left in her sight line in her sitting room. Helped to reduce constant anxious phone calls. #Alzheimers #dementia #caregiving #EndAlz

"Your meals are paid for.
You're okay.
Everyone's fine.
You are not moving .
No one else is moving.
Keep drinking, it will help your memory.
You don't owe anyone any money.
You haven't upset anyone."

Although the ability to continue caregiving may end, love endures. #Alzheimers #dementia #caregiving #love

An elderly man hurried to his 8:00 am doctor appointment, he wanted to finish quickly so he could get to another appointment. The doctor asked what it was and he proudly said that every morning at a 9:00 am at the hospital he had breakfast with his wife. The doctor asked what her condition was and he replied that for 5 years she has had Alzheimer’s and hasn't known who he is. The doctor asked why he continues if she has no idea who he is and the old man replied “because I still know who she is.”

Hey, uh, Trump? Bragging about passing a third dementia test is a great way of telling us they've made you take 3 dementia tests… shows an ongoing concern, not a resolved one. #trump #politics #dementia

There is nothing beautiful about dementia, but we can see through the disease to the person's beauty. #Alzheimers #dementia #quote

"In Japan, broken objects are often repaired with gold. The flaw is seen as a unique piece of the object's history, which adds to its beauty. Consider this when you feel broken."

Caregiving can feel like the loneliest and most isolating experience imaginable. We all need an outlet to express our feelings and know we are heard - not judged, just heard. #Alzheimers #dementia #mentalhealth #caregiving #quote

“Anything that’s human is mentionable, and anything that is mentionable can be more manageable. When we can talk about our feelings, they become less overwhelming, less upsetting, and less scary. The people we trust with that important talk can help us know that we are not alone.” ~ Fred Rogers

Hey Dumpy Drumf! Iran’s war or starving Cuba won’t make us LOSE SIGHT of the Epstein files. Stop all the insane BS! Also, let’s look at those COGNITIVE TESTS that you are so proud of! 🤨🤨🤨 #Dementia #Alzheimers #TooDAMNOld #Cuba #Iran

When politicians disrupt SNAP, they endanger 5 million older adults in the program. A huge number of people living with Alzheimer's disease or a related cause of dementia will go hungry. If you aren't angry, you aren't paying attention #Alzheimers #dementia #hunger #SNAP #CrueltyIsThePoint

When SNAP benefits run out, 'people can die,' say health experts

“People can die” from even short gaps in nutrition and food access, experts say ahead of SNAP benefits not going out in November in at least 25 states.

For all that #dementia takes away, there are joys to be found by living in the moment. #Alzheimers #mindfulness #happiness

"Dance like no one is watching.
Sing like no one is listening.
Eat pizza like somebody might try to grab it from you at any moment." ~ Sandra Boynton

#Caregiving for a person living with #dementia is about supporting, not correcting. #Alzheimers #quote

Avoid correcting factual errors. If your loved one calls you by a different name or repeats a the same question for the umpteenth time, there's no need to point out the “error”, and make the person feel bad about not remembering. When you resist “being right”, and instead choose to be kind, you'll have a more positive interaction with your loved one.
