12 months ago my friend has been diagnosed with vascular dementia. She doesn't have any immediate family and is currently in a care home. Post arrives for her sometimes with appointments. This seems to send her into overdrive when each day she gets herself ready to go to the appointment. I thought it would be good for her to have a diary in which I could write the appts. I also put them on a white board for her, but this doesn't seem to help. She has a digital clock with day and date, but it didn't seem to make any difference. I sometimes feel it would be better for her peace of mind if she wasn't aware of appointments until I go to collect her. That way she wouldn't get anxious for days before hand and worrying because I haven't turned up. What advice can you give please.
