For people with dementia

Being diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease is not the end of the world, whilst appreciating that things have changed, there's still a whole world to enjoy.
- Pat
Dementia is not a major part of your life, just part of it. I don't waken up with my first thought being "I have dementia!" I plan ahead and wake up thinking of the activities I have arranged to do that day.
- James
Same person?– no, I'm a better person, I now have a greater understanding of impairments.
- Ian

The quotes above are from a booklet called "Don't make the journey alone" written by Pat, James and Ian.
