[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our animal shelter volunteers mop, do laundry, do dishes etc so even if he's starting to lose it that's ok. He can also walk or play with the smaller, gentle dogs.[/quote] Mopping is a great way to slip and fall which in the elderly can result in breaking a hip. Small gentle dogs still can get over excited seeing a squirrel and bolt, especially if they are part terrier. Maybe volunteer work is an option, but most likely a day center is needed where there is some supervision. My family would have said the same things about dad when I was jumping up and down saying he had full blown dementia. When he finally got the evaluation it was pretty far along and the family lore was it was sudden onset and rapid. It was gradual and they spent a loooon time in denial and sadly there were consequences.[/quote]
