[quote=Anonymous]I think if you visit expecting that things can go awry at any time, and sort of put on some mental armor, you can get used to it. Agree with others that it’s the disease speaking, and not about you. I found it helpful to talk about the good old days, divert their attention/concersation when possible, bring lots of sweets, and have low expectations. I’ve also heard those fake cats do wonders and seem almost real to dementia patients. They’re like realistic animated stuffed animals (creepy to some people but not most dementia patients).[/quote]
