@l.w.paradis2108 you wake up one day and someone is knocking on your door.
The person claims to be your sister, they have short grey hair, pale skin and looks 60+ years old but your sister has long blonde hair, is only 43 and has a dark tan - she just got back from a vacation in Europe.
The person keeps knocking, they won't leave despite you telling them to and they demand to be let in as they have your medication - but you don't take any mediation.
Would you be sweet and kind to this person, pretend they are your sister, let them in and take whatever medication they give you... or would you start to get frustrated, refuse to let them and be very suspicious of whatever medication they are trying to force you to take?
Now here's the twist... that person IS your sister, she hasn't been to Europe in over 20 years, she visits you every day and that medication is for your heart and necessary to keep you alive. You must take it every day.
That's dementia. It's not that you "forget" stuff, it's that the world around you is not how you "remember" it.. because the only memories you have are from decades ago but they are you most recent memories.
I would not hire you as a baby sitter let alone a caregiver.

@roolyfe “We have this notion that somehow if you’re poor, you cannot do it. Poor kids are just as bright and just as talented as white kids,” Biden, who is running for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination, said during a town hall in Des Moines with the Asian and Latino Coalition.
He paused, then quickly clarified, “wealthy kids, black kids, Asian kids.”
“No, I really mean it, but think how we think about it,” he said.
