This is a thoughtful list of “to dos” for handling the transition of a loved one with dementia. Some of this is U.K. specific, but these are practical things for care-givers. Get into a support group ASAP!

I’m happy to tweet your observations and practical advice. I lost a grandfather and uncle to #Alzheimers. Raising awareness and discussing the challenges of dealing with #dementia is very helpful. God bless you and thanks so much for sharing! All the best, Hal https://twitter.com/BirdBrayn/status/935997390145892352
Thank you, that’s incredibly kind of you
