Hello Michael Boles: I am now caring for a loving one with memory issues who is ambulatory and able to handle her personal care such as going to the bathroom and personal hygiene. One of the main concerns I have is she is a brittle diabetic so needs insulin. Although she gives herself insulin it must be supervised on how much to take and observed for the right portion intake. As well, I am uncomfortable having her cook or handle anything that requires memory to turn on or off that can potentially cause long-term damage. Thus, I am seeking to find an outlet for her, but because she has memory (although short-term is severely damaged and some long-term is no longer within normal range) her fear is seeing others more debilitated then herself.
