About Melissa

I have a lot of experience dealing with dementia. I took care of my grandmother through all of the stages of this terrible disease. I kept her safe, happy all the while trying to keep her dignity intact. We played games, sat outside, and just talked when she wanted. Made sure her meds were taken and that all vitals were okay and anything else she needed. I also made sure she ate and her house was stocked with necessities and tidyI tried to keep it light and fun and always smiling. Keeping the focus on good natured conversation and activities.
