    UTI is the go to check-up in caregiving for people with intellectual disabilities who suddenly act up too. I think we all have stories of strange cranky behavior when the people we care for are 7nwell and unable to communicate directly.

    I now look back athis actions and see that the hoarding and rummaging were early signs of the cognitive decline that I did not recognize.

    Thank you so much, I’ve been by looking for training videos that don’t cost me. With the price of care and supplies I could not afford to pay for education. Thank you so much. I would be happy to make a donation as my budget allows. Thank you again.
