My MIL loves them and it makes a great post-appointment #treat for her.⁣ ⁣ Part of #dementia is a fear of getting out. Yes, we go to these places frequently and see the same people each time but her #memory only allows her to live in the moment. To her, every time we go out is a brand new and frightening experience. ⁣ ⁣ It's important when getting your #agingparent to willingly go to these appointments to give them an incentive; something to look
