A member asked:
How can one spend good, quality time with an elderly parent who is confused and not communicating?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Just be there: Quality is in the eye of the beholder (or recipient), not giver. Just sitting with them, or watching tv together or helping with their daily activities as they will allow you, can be very positive for them, even if they lack the ability to communicate that to you.
