"Dementia is the condition of progressive cognitive impairment, but not a condition of complete cognitive impairment - not for a very long time, if at all. When we engage with people experiencing dementia only on the level of what they cannot do, we disable them even more. There are abilities in dementia. These are and should be recognized as strengths - skills that people can still use to enjoy daily life." ~ Judy Cornish

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.
