  1. Making it possible for the client diagnosed with mild Alzheimer's disease to continue to dance regularly, since it has always been a passion of hers.
  2. Being sure to polish the client's nails now that she is not able to do it herself, since it has always been important to her that she have pretty hands.
  3. Suggesting to a client's family that they should insist that the client move into an assisted living facility so as to ensure her safety.
  4. Helping the client's family identify community support services that will make it possible for the client to remain in her own home.
  5. Encouraging the client to use a walker and stay indoors, just in case she might fall.
