TIP OF THE MONTH
To help your person with memory loss, consider labeling cabinets and drawers with pictures of what is on the inside, and/or with the words naming the objects. Don’t make things more difficult by having them guess. If families and households did this, I think we can eliminate some of the stress when the person affected seems genuinely confused about where object go when putting them away.
