Absolutely! I am sure your local public library branch has a โ€œfriends of the libraryโ€ type group that does volunteer work for the library. Or if you want to get super picky you can volunteer at some special collections like museums and science centers which all tend to have volunteer programs.

I would say volunteer in something youโ€™re interested in and passionate about and then you will have at least one thing in common on a fundamental level.

Then, if it doesnโ€™t work out, at least you did something you would want to do anyway. Win win. Librarianโ€™s love volunteers if you canโ€™t tell. ๐Ÿ˜

Best way to meet them is volunteering. Do good and good comes back with a nice date sometimes! ๐Ÿ˜Š

The way dementia takes away a person you love, starting with their mind, is awful. Itโ€™s difficult, but so important, as Dementia Man says, to continue to show them love and compassion.

Happy #Valentineโ€™s Day! What might someone with #dementia want their #caregivers to know about their care? One of my favorite guests, Dementia Man, says to love them. I am remembering this today on the day of love.

People with intellectual & developmental disabilities are at higher risk of #dementia but face significant barriers to care.

The authors propose a public health framework to address this intersection of #disability & brain health.

I would say that if they had been in a healthy relationship then the aliens would have brought them closer together. The mashed potatoes thing would have been a red flag that the man was really bothered and needed support. They should have built the diorama together as a couple, lol. #marriagegoals
