Dotty Stars in Breakfast with Harvey
Dotty is 94 years old and suffers from Alzheimer's disease. Harvey is a repeat parrot and right now is Dotty's best friend...
Harvey is also one of the 15 million Alzheimer's caregivers.
Dotty spends about two hours a day with Harvey. Harvey is very good at getting information out of Dotty. For example, she might tell him she has a "splitting headache". Most Alzheimer's patients are not very good at communicating this kind of information.
Enjoy the short video. You comments and observations are always welcome here.
