Thank you Dskil57. We read posts from caregivers, but seldom from those who are actually living their life with VaD. We can surmise what you are experiencing, but cannot truly understand. Thank you for sharing and giving all of us some first hand advice.

How wonderful that, with all you are going through, you have taken the time to reach out to help others. This is just marvelous advice and you cannot know how many you will help with this. There is on Facebook more than a few pages where those with Lewy's Dementia, which my brother suffered from, give good advice to their own community; one many even did until very recently lectures.
Thanks again for coming to Forum. I am so impressed with your bravery and your determination to help others.
