Summary: Fran莽oise Baylis, the eldest daughter of Gloria Baylis an 87-year-old woman in the final stages of Alzheimer鈥檚 Disease, will share with the audience some of her 鈥渓essons learned鈥� through conversations with her mother. These conversations 鈥� from the time of diagnosis till today 鈥� span close to 17 years. The insights gained are both personal and professional.听 The take home message is that when persons with dementia lose their memories, we must remember for them; when they are isolated as a result of their cognitive losses, we must continue to include them in our lives and celebrations; and when they fail to recognize others in their circle of belonging (even their most loved ones), we must recognize and acknowledge them. Memory, belonging, recognition are the foundational elements of personal identity.
