I Need Advice

Has anyone on here had a parent with Dementia? If so, how did you handle it? My Dad was diagnosed recently. I've had a tough time with it. He's in the mild stages right now but dementia gets worse. It's not Alzheimer's. It's a different form called frontal lobe dementia. Thank goodness it's not as aggressive as Alzheimer's but still bad news.

My mom started getting Dementia, before she passed.
It was difficult for I lived across country from her.
My brother was oblivious.

I would suggest spend as much time as possible. Talk about different subjects.
Maybe get him to do crossword and other activities that keep the mind fresh.
