Do things that can help stave off memory issues. Eat well. Exercise. Keep blood sugar under control (some sites call dementia type 3 diabetes). Socialize. Make sure his hearing is good and if not get hearing aids. Do brain games.
In another post you mentioned phone scams. If this is part and parcel to that you might want to delete this so you get more complete answers. If this is separate concern... A few suggestions and comments. Learn all you can about the type of dementia that he has been diagnosed with. Accept that this will get worse. Appreciate the good days and the bad ones,. The bad ones now are going to look like good days when you look back in 6 months, 1 year... Find a good support group for yourself. In person is best. Look for Adult Day programs for your husband. If your husband is a Veteran contact your local Veterans Assistance Commission and see if he qualifies for any help through the VA. If he is a Veteran depending on where and when he served he may qualify for a little help or a LOT of help. And the VA is now paying spouses to care for the Veteran so you can look into that as well.
