Tuesday
The First meeting of our community groups. I was not in attendance as I had food poisoning that day. So after being lightly briefed by Samara and Sybil, I found out who we were working with and that she had Alzheimer's. I began to research the disease and found an extremely interesting documentary on BBC. http://bbc.in/1NS9YPX The relationships the people had on the documentary with their loved ones was interesting and inspiring for our work with Trixie.
I also watched 50 First Dates,
The ending video in the movie, that Adam Sandler makes for his wife was in my opinion a really good idea to use for our person, We could discuss things with her from her past and compile them into a visual and audio experience that would stimulate her memory or possibly just act as form of entertainment with familiar images and sounds.
Samara and Sybil had recorded their first meeting with Trixie and informed me that her condition wasnt as bad as some in the home, and that her conversation skills and personality were a highlight of their visit. I listened to the majority of the clips to help me brain storm ideas to present to the group.
