New way to manage dementia

I'm sorry for the rough look of this post, blogger seems to have gone all 1996 on me, courier font, no java.

Snippet: A radical approach to dementia care has been invented by a grandmother who has no medical training. She doesn't go into details, but it seems to suggest that since patients with dementia can't store new memories anyway, it's better to keep them happy by giving in to their fantasies than to correct them and make them feel embarrassed and a loss of control.

Thoughts?
