Never — never — isolate or give up on a person living with #dementia .

#Alzheimers #mentalhealth #quote

People living with #Alzheimers disease and other forms of #dementia , along with their carers, need and deserve more than our empathy. They need and deserve our unrelenting action to create a truly inclusive society.

Please re-Tweet to raise awareness: What we commonly call #dementia 'behaviors' actually are communication about confusion, pain, distress, or for other wants or needs to be addressed. We must view them compassionately and listen for the message.

Everyone who has supported a loved one with #dementia knows that #trauma permanently changes us.

Please re-Tweet if you agree that life — and quality of life — do not end with a diagnosis of #Alzheimers disease or another form of #dementia .

Sometimes #caregiving is about the chores: medications, money, meals, bathing, and more. But, in the quiet moments between the chores, it also can be about giving and sharing comfort, peace of mind, dignity, #kindness and love.

Please re-Tweet to raise awareness: Even in the absence of a loving relationship, the act of giving care comes from a loving heart.

Our sadness comes from what people with #Alzheimers or other forms of #dementia no longer can do, while their joy comes from what they still can do. However and whenever we are able, let’s embrace their abilities and their joys.
