You should be ready for a New Year’s celebration with someone who has dementia. Your hat on your head and ready to party on in whatever manner you so choose.

Just a note, making hats like this can be done for other holidays and special occasions. For example: Valentines day and Mardi gras are coming up.

Moving on to the next topic- New Year’s Resolutions

At least eighty percent of people in long term care have some form of dementia

What will you do in 2009 to stave off Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias in you and in those you care about?

In the next series of posts to follow, I will give you some suggestions and ways to keep those New Year’s resolutions
