Dementia training taught me to laugh at what you can't do anything about with dementia patients.and i quite agree that we often "put words" in their mouths,because we know what they are saying but don't have the time or patience for them to express them.making a joke of it and relating them to someone they know does help.morcambe and wise are the ones i relate to.excellent stratergy me thinks.relief for both parties that the conversation can be directed.love elainex
