The video showing ALZ ladies making peanut butter & jelly (or ham & cheese?) sandwiches, at various stages of the disease, was the most memorable. To this day, my husband often makes his own PB & J for lunch. Encouraging independence, at any level, is so important. BTW, the 3-ring binder, full of exercises & info, was free.

Yes @gznqk5 - the sandwich making video was such an eye-opener. I think our local Council on Aging had to print out the copies and buy the binders so the $10 cost of the manual just helped cover those costs. As I said, well, well worth it.
And @dianajane - I feel for you on having your husband in a memory care facility. It must be an excruciating decision to make. I'm glad you have your daughters in your corner and glad you are seeing a counselor. I just started seeing one and I agree that counseling is hugely helpful. I just found a counselor I really like. My 2nd appointment is next week. I know this is going to be more and more important as we go forward. I also find our local Caregivers Support group to be helpful. Do you have a support group in your area?
