Could viewing lifenaut mindfiles be useful to people who have lost their mind?

As someone who watched a loved one lose their mind to Alzhiemers disease, I would say yes. I think one of the most difficult challenges for a person with memory loss is the social and psychological barrier to asking for help in remembering information. If a person had an online resource that could be taught to remember and retrieve say pictures of family and friends, one could ask daily to be reminded of who people are in daily life.


My mother is in a nursing home, Brunswick Cove. She has been left in her geriatric chair twice and has fallen out twice in a week. Yesterday she went to the hospital because of it. What can I do to keep her safe. She has Alzhiemers!?

You need to talk to call the Ombudsman and report this if you have already spoken to the Director of Social Services or Dir. of Nursing or even the Admin. There is know reason your mother should be left in her Geri-chair or fallen out! If nothing changes I would suggest that you maybe look at different Longer term care facilities! Hope that helps but your mothers deserves the best care possible!


Can an 82 year old with Alzhiemers be taken to court if she does not pay a credit card debt which is over 4 year old?

The short answer is yes. However it is much more complicated. In the case of an incomptent person's finances, where there is no a Power of Attorney or legal guardian order the court takes over. The procedure can be simple or very complexed depending on the state of residency and other contributing factors. The state statutes regarding this issue can be reviewed for specifics. Please email me if you feel I can be of assistance.
