8.3 | 1 | == Context == |
| 2 | People with dementia often live up in care homes where their caretakers can closely monitor them and help them go about their day without much issue. There are, however, people with dementia who live at home, which can happen for various reasons: they don't want to leave their home, they don't feel like dementia affects them enough to be worth moving, they want to retain their independence (and a first step is not moving closer to caretakers), etc. | ||

| 5 | Mary was recently diagnosed with early-stage dementia, which already affects her day to day life. She sometimes forgets to eat, while other times she forgets to brush her teeth, sometimes even forgetting to go to bed at a reasonable hour. To us, these activities come naturally - we eat when we are hungry and we go to sleep when we are tired. For people with dementia, however, this is a bit more complicated. | ||
