Tricks and Treats of Dementia
There are moments during the dementia disease process, where it may seem as if your loved one is getting better. Perhaps on a sunny day you take your Mom outside and have the most beautiful conversation with her, talking about the past and present at length. You go away from this encounter feeling as if Mom is getting better, only on your next visit she barely smiles at you.
During those good times it is hard not to get your hopes up, but even worse when your heart is crushed on the bad days. Therefore, it is important to know that good and bad days are very common throughout the progression of any of the 70 different types of dementia. One way to look at these goods days is to recognize them as a treat given by the dementia disease process. This sweet reward of connection enables us to cope with the disease process for longer and to remember that our loved one is still there trying to communicate with us.

"We want to thank you for the loving special care you took of our mother, Diane. It was truly mom's home and you all became part of our family. Everything was home for her....from the beautiful rooms, large sunny windows all around, good food made with love, fun and personal activities from people who really loved our mom. We would highly recommend your facility to anyone. The staff from the director, to the doctor, to the nurse, to the caregivers and the maintenance man were all extremely helpful, caring, loving and professional. There are not enough words to say how much we appreciate all of you. Your exceptional care, kindness, and love were beyond anything we could have imagined. You were part of our family, and we will miss you." - Gail Sommers and Deborah Guse
