New Article - advice for the newly diagnosed

  • Print

Some of us have been on this path for awhile and discussions with a new member made us start a list - little pieces of "advice" for those who have just received the bad news.  See tab "articles".   Thanks to Craig for looking up all the links.  Please note, all our links are for those living in Alberta Canada - you will have to track down similar services in your area.  But hopefully the general tips will help you start getting organized.  And in the long term - getting organized goes a long way.

Do's and Don't

  • Print
DO be aware of state of mind.
DO maintain privacy
DO provide a safe environment
DO NOT think that they really do remember and are just pretending not to.
DO NOT reason and argue
DO NOT demand they get their facts straight
See tab "articles" Understanding the Dementia Experience.  This is an excellent article and very helpful.
