-- Do only what you can manage. Understand that you may not be able to participate in every event or tradition. -- Have small gatherings at home and suggest a potluck holiday meal. Have a noon meal to avoid the evening confusion that is common for individuals with Alzheimer's. -- Communicate with visitors so they will understand and be able to communicate with your loved one.
