Some would argue that’s a narrow view of what it can mean to enjoy yourself…

The perspective in the field of dementia advocacy would say it’s a narrow view to say that people can’t enjoy themselves. They’re people with often a great deal of remaining possibilities that we can support them in. There’s an abundance of information and options to support living well with it that are disregarded by those who insist that it’s no longer possible to enjoy life. I can point to 100s of people who prove that wrong, every day, and they deserve all the support we can give them in that.
