Anyway, I know Alzheimer's is a death sentence but have you guys observed anything that helped, I don't care if it's minerals or kryptonite, anything that you noticed improved quality of life.
Mental tasks and exercise help like jigsaws or sewing. Looking at family photos and having conversations also help. My wife is currently making a quilt with all things that were an interest for my mum.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
