Seniors and Dementia Articles
Dad goes between being my forgetful dad to being my dad with full blown dementia. Neither knows the other.
Neurological Testing for Seniors
Dad needed to get tested to see if he was safe in his condition and whether it was still safe for him to drive.
When is facility care the right call to make for your parent?
Scammers target the elderly because they can be fooled more easily.
Keep a good relationship or rekindle a relationship with your adult child as you grow older.
Memory Issues When Aging - Normal or Dementia?
As you age, your memory gets worse - but is it normal aging or a more serious dementia issue?
The elderly tend to forget a lot, so you probably should try to remind them. Of things they need to do. Remind them of memories, too.
Seniors tend to have habits and routines they are strict about. They might need routines set up for them, like when to take medications.
Seniors might pull themselves inward, but they really do need people to help their brains..
Before memory loss gets bad, ask your parents for their life stories ,recipes and such. Preserve their history.
Be aware of elderly romances - caretakers might be scamming them. Others might be scamming them. My dad fell for one and lost maybe $50K.
