The Move to Assisted Living

I am beginning a new book about my adventures with my mother in law Betty's dementia. Reviewing the journal I've kept since her dementia was becoming evident, I realize how much I've learned from her and others I've coached. The goal is to preserve the person's dignity and to give them a sense of control. I failed to do that several times with her. I'd like to learn how others have done on this score. I hear from a caregiver in Florida who has developed a passion for preserving her mother in law's dignity and purpose. I give her lots of credit for the growth in her since I coached her a year or more ago. Good goin' Lori.
