She also likes to talk. Ellen likes to sleep till noon or even a little later. She eats breakfast between 11 and 2pm, depending on when she wakes up. She goes to sleep for the night around midnight, give or take a hour. About the care needs: A German speaking would be the perfect fit. Ellen speaks both English and German fluently. Skills interacting with with a person with dementia is crucial. Ellen can be stubborn and the ability to coax her into taking a shower and eating her food will likely be needed. Making it "her idea" is one way we have found works. Patients is a must. Talking to her with respect is also a must. She can detect someone who would rather be somewhere else.
