Before her condition got much worse and before COVID - maybe 18 months or two years ago - we took her to dinners, and concerts, and shows. I have been trying to plan nice events again and find myself getting very wrapped up in whether a family dinner went well or badly, whether she enjoyed the trip to the dog park or nail salon (we are all vaccinated). But a “good” evening can be followed by a terrible one, and I wonder if the “fun” days have any lasting impact at all. Is there any evidence that good and fun days can help create an overall better mood or wellbeing for Alzheimer’s patients over time — even if specific details aren’t remembered? Or are they as erased as if they never happened?
