Something I do for George each night is:
When he gets into bed I put on a favourite movie and give him a red wine.
He has drunk red wine (lots of it) for many years. As of course, this is not good for the brain cells I do limit this now.
I try to hide the wine cask in different places but he always managed to find it and try to pour from it!! Wine all over the kitchen cupboards and floors. I finally found that by putting it in the oven he hasn't found it there.
Recently he found a box (with coffees) and thought that it was red wine.
Result:
He then tried to pour a red wine from the box on the left...
Everyone who lives with dementia deserves the quality of life that George has. it's a tragedy that the vast majority have nothing near it... :(

I do agree Susan. I admire the care you give your mother also and the work you are doing to raise the awareness of Alzheimer's.
