Tell me about the calendar/planner system. I'm on another site, for my own disease, but my husband was recently diagnosed with early alzheimers. I took a brief course to assist him, and we do the physical and cognitive work together, keep our social life active, and eat healthy, but is there a formal calendar/planner system that we should look into? We do write all events down, and keep a calendar, we double check bank receipts, and he shops with money or a credit card rather than a check book, but what other planning tools are available? He uses a shopping list for grocery shopping, and we keep a daily routine. thanks for the information. that was helpful.
