Without being disrepectful, as I'm sure you were not, sometimes we have to mentally challenge them a bit. We want to keep them aware and alert.

Yes, since my Stepdad has passed, I’ve encouraged her to get involved in her church circle and other clubs again. She needs the mental stimulation of getting programs ready when it’s her turn to do so.

She knows her memory is failing. But it is not at the point where she needs supervision.

EXAMPLE: When she puts anything on the stovetop to cook, she carrys a timer in an apron pocket to remind her to check it.

She seems to be managing well, and is taking precautions to compensate for her weaknesses. Only time will tell.
