Hi all
I have just retired from The Police(I was a Village Bobby) and I have been accepted as an "Activities Co-ordinator" on the Alzheimers' Wing of a local Nursing Home. I have spent a considerable amount of time researching the condition on the net and have come across your site. I know it sounds naff saying this but I would really like to "make a difference". My predecessor appears to have gone through the basics ie being kind and understanding and organising very mundane activities. I would really value advice from people who have had to cope with relatives and friends who are in the latter stages of AD.
thanks(in anticipation)
Martyn
