I have decided that setting some weekly targets is one way of seeing if I’m really doing a good job as a Care Partner for my wife. One a day seems a sensible starting point. This weeks seven are:
- To smile more and communicate clearly
- To visit family in Coventry
- To have a day out together
- To go out and leave Maureen to her own devices for an hour on two separate occasions
- To revise and dance our routines to the Cha Cha in our Lounge
- To encourage Maureen to do crosswords or jigsaws
- To attempt to resolve Maureen’s shortage of clothing
Dementia: Sharing The Good Times 
A great list of targets to aim for. I imagine the last one is perhaps the most difficult to achieve. Good luck.
