Memory Card

 It is often useful to notify servers and others we interface with that Norma has some memory challenges.

A business card memory impairment card is available from Hospice of the Valley Dementia Education Center.  I find it is more readily accessible to have this card on my phone.  The image below may be downloaded to your phone and an icon to it placed on your home page for quick easy access.
