Never lose an opportunity of seeing anything that is beautiful; for beauty is God's handwriting ~ a wayside sacrament. Welcome it in every fair face, in every fair sky, in every fair flower, and thank God for it as a cup of blessing.

At what age group does this really affect an older person? Do you think people with dimentia can benefit from a Medical Alarm?
Kalya Fox
Dear Kalya, Thank you for your comment. Dementia can occur at a variety of ages. Some of the other posts and news feeds on the blog go into more detail about that and about home medical alarms. If you go to the website for OurAlzheimers.com you can get additional detailed info about dementia. Best wishes, Kristi
