"I am Sylvia. I was Sylvia before I was diagnosed, and I am still Sylvia after being diagnosed. I'm still the same person — treat me the same way. Talk to me the same way. Include me in the conversation as you would before."
- Early Stage Alzheimer’s patient
Quote from Voices of people with early stage Alzheimer's
You will always be Sylvia to the ones you love. I work with clients who also have the diagnosis of some form of dementia, and I see who they are everyday. There are the moments when it all works out.
