Living with Dementia - The life and needs of Martina and Helmut
How to cope
visit a care center several days a week
take time for to relax and not get too isolated and maintain friendships
make a daily routine
live in the moment don't think about the future
family support
look at old pictures to jog memory
watch TV something everyone can enjoy
Martina's love
"I would miss him if he wasn't here"
doesn't want him to go to a care home
cares for all of Helmuts needs
sleeps together
ups and downs
some days are good
some days feel can't do it anymore
can feel isolated
celebrate successes
emotional to experience the decline
Day to day uncertainty
"Do I treat him like a child?"
Feels the need to entertain him
Don't know what tomorrow will bring so take each day as it comes
Hope to spend what time is left in relatively good health
