If you are a bad cop, you are probably upset all the time by the behavior of your Alzheimer's patient. If you are a good cop, you probably learned that your Alzheimer's patient is not guilty of a crime.....
By Bob DeMarco Alzheimer's Reading Room
Are you a Good Cop or a Bad Cop? This is a question all Alzheimer's caregivers should ask themselves from time to time.
I'm thinking back to the beginning when my mother would just keep eating and eating. She was always hungry. Once I took her out on Easter Sunday to brunch. It was one of those buffet style affairs. They had everything under the sun to eat. I watched in both amazement and horror as my mother "chowed down".
I couldn't believe that my tiny mother was eating more than me.
