The Importance of Light in Caring for People with Alzheimer's

Through his self-guided internet research, Bob learned that bright light can have a positive effect on people with Alzheimer’s. Bob started taking Dotty outside into the sunshine for good portions of the day, which may sometimes be going to the poor or pulling the car over to share some ice cream. Even when inside Bob tried to expose her to bright light. When he would take her to Walmart to do their shopping, he would have her use the motorized scooter to zoom around the well-lit store. If nothing else, these activities have created fond memories for Bob and provided Dotty with the activity and socialization that she needed.
