I've posted a thread in the dementia section, and had some great advice from people further down this patch than me. Mum is still living independently (at least for now), but with a failing memory (albeit not necessarily recognising the issue herself) and I am thinking of things that I can put into place that will support her, and make things less stressy for me as well. I was wondering what quick fixes others have put in place that they could recommend? For example something that I have been meaning to do is type up a template shopping list that I can leave with her, and which she then ticks off items which she needs. I can then sort the shopping for/with her rather than her thinking she will remember what she needs, but not actually being able to do so.
