“This Week at OPICA”

Celebrate Mother’s Day with quality time together

Spending quality time with the important woman (or women) in your life is a wonderful and thoughtful way to celebrate Mother’s Day.

Mother's Day is a time to honor the special mother figures in your life, and if your loved one lives with dementia, it can continue to be special with a few adaptations. "Following a few steps can help you celebrate your special person and the bond you share in a dementia-friendly manner."
