I believe you can live well with dementia. I believe I live well with dementia.

Here are some of the rules I made for myself to help me stay focused on the goal of living as well as possible 10 years after being diagnosed at age 59. I have been using these guidelines for myself for many years.

I hope they are as helpful to you as they are for me.

Here is a mind map of rules and guidelines I do my best to follow. If you have dementia, trying to use these guidelines for a few days or weeks may help make you more skilled in dealing with your dementia.

Note. The information in this post is not a treatment or medical advice. These are just a few thoughts about living well while having dementia that have been helpful for me.
