It was going to be a long written response so I decided to record a video of my response. These are some basic strategies and tips on how to offer care and support to a loved one who is experiencing mental decline and memory loss.

Leave any comments, insights, questions in the community as there is so much more that can be provided on this topic. Here is the link to my response: https://youtu.be/FYbBc4Lhx1Q?views

Hi all! As promised, I want to make sure throughout this year, once a week, I am answering any questions you might have about being a family caregiver. It can be about anything that is on your mind, that you have been dealing with (or preparing to deal with) -- you name it, you can ask it. Post your question here and I will answer it this coming weekend. Who's got a question? And, remember, there are no 'dumb' questions -- nope, none at all.
