to mild dementia.

in working with people with Alzheimer’s
disease/related memory impairments and the
early-stage program.

diagnosis of dementia and a family member. The
person with the diagnosis must have been told of and
at least occasionally acknowledge the illness, have
good communication and social skills, and would like
to attend the program.
