Dementia Wish List

If I get dementia, I’d like my family, friends and Carers to hang this wish list up on the wall where I live. I want them to remember these things.

I am going to copy this and I am proud to say that, the ones that apply, are all things that I did for my Husband.

Great list!

I toured a beautiful assisted living facility that I was considering for my mom.

They had a huge dining room which families could reserve for birthdays parties and holiday dinners.

The woman who gave me the tour said that one resident’s family had reserved it for thanksgiving. The mother who lived in the facility thought that she had cooked the dinner for everyone just as she had done in previous years at her own home.

Her family went along with it and told her that she outdid herself by cooking such a wonderful feast! She was very happy that they enjoyed thanksgiving dinner. What a lovely family to pretend that their mom cooked dinner for them!

Simply beautiful! I’ve always believed after my interactions with family members with dementia, that the person we know and love is still “in there” longing for love and compassion
