An Alzheimer's diagnosis changes how you connect, but it doesn't have to take connection away. Three ways to stay close:
• See the person. Behind the diagnosis is someone with a story and a favorite song. Look through old photos or play familiar music together.
• Meet them where they are. Presence and warmth often reach further than words, so sit side by side and follow their lead.
• Make the room easy to take in. Good lighting and less clutter help a person see and settle into a space.
And if you're the one caring: You are seen, too. 💚
