My grandfather is currently in a nursing home for people with dementia. First off, I want to say I really appreciate everyone in your line of work. I know for our family, the nurses at the facility have made a world of difference, not only for him but for us as well. For Christmas they made all the residents scrapbooks of their families with names by the pictures, with money out of their own pockets.
Unfortunately, this type of dementia is genetic, and my dad is already showing the early signs. We've heard rumors that solving puzzles and problems can help the mind last longer. Do you happen to know if this is true? We know that there is no permanent solution, but we've all come to terms with it and try to make light of it (my dad always forgets to take his memory pills and that still makes me laugh).
