    TITLE: These blood thinners may have an unexpected benefit for Alzheimer’s patients

    URL: sciencedaily.com/releases/2026

    Newer blood thinners may do more than prevent strokes in people with Alzheimer’s disease and atrial fibrillation. Researchers found that patients taking NOACs experienced a slower decline in cognitive function than those using warfarin or no blood thinners. The effect was modest each year but could add up over time.

  17. My mom’s long-term care has cost almost $400,000. This is after we spent $45,000 converting a guest house on our property for her.

  18. Someone I know is taking the lock from their side gate into the locksmith to get it keyed.
    And they'll phone the Australian National Dementia Helpline and ask about the legalities of locking doors & gates to stop an elderly person putting themself in grave danger.

    They're not feeling good.

    I'm thinking that being prevented from going out into the world is a significant change.
    It could be put into an Advanced Care Directive.

    I'd have thought this was a silly joke.

    But they're serious.

    "Trusted partners" - I'm seeing anyone proposing that they'll release medical and private data to anonymous others as inherently untrustworthy.

    A deal killer in my evaluation.

    The sub-continent provided a wonderful Good Samaritan. Australia is fortunate to have good people.

    Future plans will NOT rely on SMS messages being received. Phone calls will be needed.
    Google Maps and Streetview will not be relied on. Knowledgeable locals will.
    The judgement of an Elderly Friend around "The Passage Of Time" & "How Long To Wait Before Enquiring" will be relied on less.
    Safe And Sound will be used.
    A card with a home address will be in a pocket.

  32. And I hear the facility is planning on stopping the new locked-ward resident having a mobile phone.

    These day's removing a person's mobile phone looks like acting to socially isolate them.

    This does not appear to be consistent with maintaining existing skills nor with supporting the resident in maintaining friendships & relationships.

    Both of these are, AIUI, effective in slowing the progression of dementia.

  35. Today’s small moment: while browsing Amazon for games and puzzles suited for someone with dementia, I stumbled across Rack-O — the classic “rack ’em & score” card game.

    Instantly transported back to the 1970s, when my friends and I played it endlessly. We absolutely loved that game, and seeing it again brought a simple, unexpected smile.

    Chemical straight-jacket/antipsychotics seem to have reduced memory/recall to extent that the relative is now very sloppy, with very reduced memory.

    A ward staffed by large muscular jocks/wrestlers where medication is reduced to minimal level that provides safety for such staff seems it would work better for relative.
