Amazing Place
I wrote this article about Amazing Place, a center for people with dementia here in Houston, and I was really touched by the families who were willing to talk with me about dealing with dementia in their own families, in the hopes of helping someone else. And Amazing Place is actually pretty amazing.

Thank you for this wonderful article. I wish I'd had that information earlier when my mother started her decline. It would have saved both of us a lot of grief and frustration. Toward the end, though, I did wise up to just "going with the flow" instead of challenging her on everything she said. When she said she'd had a visit from a long dead friend, I just told her that was nice of her to do that. Who knows? Maybe she did come to see her. Stranger things than that have happened. :)
