Hello everyone! #diversealz

Dementias can be isolating for PLWD and for care partner, too. Important to find ways to maintain/rebuild social networks. #diversealz

Social interaction even more challenging if speech affected, such as w/ Primary Progressive Aphasia. Speech therapist may help. #diversealz

Singing along with music can promote social interaction. Mom remembered lyrics even when she didn't always remember names. #diversealz

Question 2 timeline tweet mentions PWD shouldn't be lonely due 2 support groups. Adding carers to "lonely" mix can they help? #diversealz

#diversealz Already much about carers/normal folk , but little about exploring what loliness 'aloneness' means to a PWD.

Loss of interest in socializing also could be sign of impaired vision or hearing. Or frustration w/ communication challenges. #diversealz https://t.co/ZJXDNxKhgu
