Finding out one of your parents has been diagnosed with dementia is devastating. However, once the shock has passed, it is essential that you begin putting steps in place as soon as possible to allow them to retain a sense of independence. I started this blog when my mum was diagnosed with dementia. I was committed to making sure she could live in her familiar surroundings as long as possible, and I wanted to share my thoughts. Choosing the right home health care personnel was key to making this happen. I also post about changes you can make around the house to simplify finding items once your parent advances through the disease. Let me help you during this challenging life period.
