Preserving a Dementia Patient’s Sense of Self How do you protect a dementia patient’s identity when they struggle to remember their own family members, likes, dislikes, and milestones in life? Use these tips to help you better understand and support a loved one who is coping with memory loss.

Anatole France said one day: “To accomplish great things we must not only act, but also dream; not only plan, but also believe”. Luci Swindoll also once said: “It's daring to be curious about the unknown, to dream big dreams, to live outside prescribed boxes, to take risks, and above all, daring to investigate the way we live until we discover the deepest treasured purpose of why we are here.”
Let me start by introducing myself. My name is Kadel Fradet, I am a Registered Nurse with a Master’s in Public Health, President/CEO of Paramount Home Health Services. Working as a Registered Nurse in different Hospitals in Southwest Florida, I have noticed that the majority of patient I have cared for that need rehabilitation, mostly refused to go to a rehabilitation center no matter what their situations are. They mostly preferred to be cared at home. So, on October 8th, 2020, my wife and I, with some friends that are also nurses, sat down together, thinking about how to put a Home Health Company together to help the communities. After a lot of hard work, countless night with no sleep, the dream has finally come true. Paramount Home Health doors are open to take patients. We will officially cut the ribbons with the local officials on July 26th, 2021.
Growing up, my parents always telling me that “hard work pays off”. This is 100% true, hard work can help you achieve anything. This piece of advice has been given to us so many times that it has now lost its meaning. The problem is that we already feel like we are working so hard, but we are not getting anywhere. Hard work is mandatory to attain many desirable goals in life. Hard work may not be pleasurable or desirable all the time. When you skip hard work, problems may arise in the future in various ways.
The definition of success and the path to success is different and may be defined by everyone differently. But if there is one thing that can be agreed from those individuals who are already successful, and people trying to reach success is that the two most important qualities is to work hard and be patient. Everyone has the ability for success but only those individuals who are willing and determined will get to that point.
