Hi,
My dad has been diagnosed with dementia and over the last year we have noticed his base line has decreased.
On good days he is quite well and quite able, however when he is having a bad day he struggles associating words with what he wants to say. He describes that he can see the thing he wants to discuss but can’t make the word come out. (He is aware of this happening which causes him frustration too)
Someone mentioned that cue cards may be helpful and I was wondering if anyone here has used them/knows a reliable place to get them or should I make my own/and has any other recommendations for ways we could make communication easier for him.
