Question: How do you cope with a parent with dementia!?
Answers:
It depends how far along in the dementia your parent is!. From my experience, being loving but firm (for their own safety) is best and having a really good support system!.
If the dementia is really bad, finding an assisted care facility is also a difficult, but logical option, especially if you have a family of your own to care for!.
I know that I am setting things in place so if I ever get diagnosed with dementia, my future children won't have to worry about me!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

My husbands grandfather had that!. Somedays he just didn't know you, and some days he knew every player on the basket ball team and their life story!. I just saw the movie "The Notebook" this week and it was very heart breaking!. You can type Dementia support group in your search engine, and hopefully find a support group in your area!. You may have to get in home care to help!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
I've only been around one adult with true dementia, and that was my great aunt!. We repeated things constantly, and found her a specialist - turns out, her lack of iodized salt was the reason for her problems, and when she was put on a proper diet, it all changed back to normal again!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
I hope your question is hypothetical versus personal!.!.!.
Fortunately, my parents are still ok!. My granmother lost it a bit near the end, but this is very different than a parent!. I guess you give them a ton of love and try to persevere!. If this is personal, I truly wish you the best!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
