Hello,
I'm not sure whether this is the right place to post this or not but have only posted once before!
My grandma's dementia has got increasingly worse lately and she really does not recognise any of us on the phone anymore.
My dad spoke to her today and she said to him 'I'm really sorry, I try so hard to know who you are but I don't know who I'm speaking to' so he suggested that we make some aids with photos so when my grandad passes the phone over, she can see a visual aid of who she is speaking to.
I've been asked to do this and was going to put some short bits of information like the name of the person and who we are in relation to her.
Has anyone done anything similar to this? if so, what information have you put/not put? And what is the best form to do it by?
Hope this makes sense and someone can help!
Thanks in advance,
Katharine x
