Episode 6 - Clueless
<p class="MsoNormal">Lori and Donna talk about the early signs of dementia they noticed with their mother. They concluded it was simply “old age” but could they have been denying what was really happening? They discuss the major fall their mother had, her odd behavior at a Christmas dinner, and her sudden cancellation of travel plans. Lori gives her cocktail rating on a recent visit with her mom, then tells us about a "fidgeting" product she recommends for dementia patients. </p> <p class="MsoNormal">Product review:</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Link for Dementia Sensory Arm Pillow Fidget Wrist Cuff: <a href="https://amzn.to/3UCrz5C" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-saferedirecturl= "https://www.google.com/url?q=https://amzn.to/3UCrz5C&source=gmail&ust=1707589093530000&usg=AOvVaw3BtrWpeOeazqELbdlm7R7D">https://amzn.to/3UCrz5C</a></p> <p class="MsoNormal">Check out our Dementia Calling Product Idea List <a href="https://amzn.to/46Vz9Ls" target="_blank" rel= "noopener" data-saferedirecturl= "https://www.google.com/url?q=https://amzn.to/46Vz9Ls&source=gmail&ust=1707589093530000&usg=AOvVaw0xZH101mrdVULy5YzsNK1O">https://amzn.to/46Vz9Ls</a></p> <p class="MsoNormal">*Please note we are Amazon affiliates and receive a small commission at no cost to you.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Follow us on Instagram @DementiaCalling and Facebook: DementiaCallingPodcast</p> <p class="MsoNormal">#elderly #seniors #dementia #dementiacare #memoryloss #memorycare #alzheimers</p> <p class="MsoNormal">#ALZ #alzheimerscare #assistedliving #assistedcare #homecare #healthcare #family #aging</p> <p class="MsoNormal">#familylife #elderly #seniorcare</p> <div> </div>
