One of my favorite activities to see residents at my job do is to sing along with music. It’s so amazing watching residents who normally struggle to speak even simple sentences sing along to familiar songs with almost no issue at all
When I was asked to care for a sweet lady in her very late stage, we spent most of her time at the kitchen table looking at photo albums and eating. I was only able to be with her for a very short time. It was one of the loveliest memories I will have as a caregiver. Love your videos.
I’m so glad! Late stage can be intimidating but you can create the sweetest moments with them. Everyone is valuable no matter where they are in dementia.
But I know she doesn’t smell anything because if I put on the wax burner she doesn’t ever say she smells that my brother was here visiting and he smokes pot and he would come in stinking and she would never say a word

@@dementiasuccesspath2239 I don’t know she seems to know what food she likes or doesn’t like so I think she still taste
