MIL with Alzheimer's
We sold our house and moved in with my MIL (FIL passed away in 2022 and my husband is inheriting her house) because she didn't want to be alone in case something happened. We started noticing memory issues and other things about a year ago. She got diagnosed with Alzheimer's maybe 3 months ago now.
Well, we ended up having to get a new washing machine. We got an amazing deal on a brand new one and it works amazing. But I immediately knew I would have to find some way to put instructions on it so my MIL could work it without needing me. I have a Cricuit maker so I decided I would use removable Vinyl and attach that to it. Then I had the idea (since she is progressively getting more and more unsure of herself and checking instructions 5 times before doing anything) that I would put the instructions for what to do when the lid is up, and what to do when the lid is down to make it easier. So basically a Step 1 and Step 2. She successfully started a load of laundry all by herself yesterday without asking for any help! I got the notification on my phone that the washer was complete and I know the 16 year old didn't start it LOL.
