Video Poem: “Pieces of Our Minds” (Dementia, Alzheimer’s Disease, Hospice, Nursing Homes)
As a Detroit, MI hospice volunteer, I interacted often with nursing home patients who had dementia, usually Alzheimer's disease. Dementia is like a fluttering bee. I never knew when it would make honey or sting. An important lesso...n I learned is that I don’t know the extent of anyone’s mental boundaries. One thing I know for sure is that I visited their Oz weekly and became a better person.
