Definition: WHO 1992 “Dementia is a syndrome due to disease in the brain, usually of a chronic or progressive nature, in which there is disturbance of multiple cortical functions, calculation, learning capacity, language and judgement. Consciousness is not clouded. Impairment of cognitive function are commonly accompanied, and occasionally preceded by deterioration in emotional control, social behaviour, or motivation”

Case Study 1: Looking for Mavis “It strikes the world that this is a burden for me, but what they don’t know is that he’s worth it. His weaknesses are only the tip of life’s iceberg. At night, as he asks for the fifth time what my plan is tomorrow, his gentle hands warm me into a sound sleep” (Weyl, 2009, pp12)

SOMEWHERE OUT THERE Somewhere out there, there is someone who needs: A touch of your hand. A smile. A kind word. Some understanding. Forgiveness. A whisper of appreciation. Something to eat. A place out of the cold. A pair of warm socks. To be remembered. Just remembered, Even that will do. As you live your life from this moment to next, Please think about those whose paths you cross. Even if they stand right in front of you, Take one little step that can, And will, Make all the difference, in the world TAKE HOME MESSAGE
