“Learning To Live Well With Dementia,” by Judith Graham, Washington Post

“Imagine your doctor telling you have Alzheimer’s disease or some other type of dementia. Then, imagine being told, ‘I’m sorry, there’s nothing we can do. You might want to start getting your affairs in order.’ Time and again, people newly diagnosed with these conditions describe feeling subsequently overcome by hopelessness. In their new book, ‘Better Living With Dementia,’ Laura Gitlin and Nancy Hodgson — two of the nation’s leading experts on care for people with cognitive impairment — argue forcefully that it’s time for this ‘cycle of despair’ to be broken.”

LTC Comment (from Stephen A. Moses, President, Center for Long-Term Care Reform):

Something to consider giving a client in claim or a prospect to consider.
