Abstract:
When our memory is working well, we don’t realise how much we use it for everything we do. We use it to recall things, organise ourselves and keep track of events. Only when we have memory problems do we realise how much we use it – without thinking. If you have early stage dementia or concerns about your memory, this is the time to think about the future. With careful planning and by changing habits now, you can look after yourself and carry on your regular activities well into the future. There are many publications that tell you about the effects of memory loss and dementia. This handbook is intended as a handy reference about products, devices, tips and hints.
