April is a new month for a new perspective. Time to get out and include activities outside of the home. Take your loved one with any type of dementia out for a meal, to a movie, the zoo or botanical gardens. Go to a park and paint or draw. Take a dancing class. Dust off the winter blues and take a walk around your neighborhood. Go on a picnic. Take a drive. Plant flowers or trim your garden. See what your loved one can still do, not what they’ve lost!
