People with dementia can live active and fulfilled lives with
little assistance from others or assistive technology. They experience emotion
like everybody else. They have their identity, a history of present, past and future. They are aware of their independence and dignity. Treatment for
dementia is also under development. Treatable disease or treatment under
research cannot be described, defined or explained as disability.
Example: Mrs A has
difficulties in remembering her daily tasks. A simple note can help her to
remember her daily tasks. Gentle reminder (from alarm clock to our daily note)
required in every person’s life even without dementia. Mrs A is not different
from us. Picture, cards and facial expression may help a person to communicate
if someone have communication problems.
