It is important for caregivers to know when to seek professional help. Assisted living communities have professionals that are trained to work with patients with dementia and can be a viable option when a person can no longer live independently.

My dad lived with Alz for 4 years before passing. The stories and questions he would ask were actually entertaining and we'd go on for some time about the crops in the field - he'd remember his childhood so clearly but hardly could remember my name! But that's okay. I learned to be patient and just listen to the stories of past, smile, and respond with most appropriate answers I could conjure up.. like yes, dad, I fed the cows this morning. I knew you weren't up to it! That would settle his anxiety and then we'd move on to another story. Many good memories I have in my heart.
