What's This All About?

My mother (who is nearly 80) has mixed type vascular dementia and Alzheimer's. Her 'treatment' since she first began to show symptoms now over 18 months ago has been a catalogue of stereotypes, unprofessionalism and disinterest. It has opened our eyes to the collective inability to treat dementia, and the mostly elderly group suffering from it, with any real concern. This blog is an attempt to provide a space to bring together both our experience and key points and links to information and advice for others in a similar position. We hope it will ensure that this collective 'not seeing' of people with dementia and those caring for them in all senses is brought into the open. You can also join See The Person on Facebook

http://bit.ly/akzjw7 Visit the Dementia Fights Back facebook page. There are some super postings from Norm Mac there. He writes very eloquently about his experiences with dementia and the reactions of others. Some will bring you to tears, some will make you laugh out loud, all should make us remember that it's about the person...
