Lillie shared this wonderful story on Twitter about visiting the nursing home with her grandmother that day.

She wrote:

“Took my nan to her new care home today that’s for people with dementia, she met a lady who had the same name as her and they held hands the whole time they watched TV, the lady on the left (gladys) repeatedly said to my nan ‘don’t worry you’ve got me now.”

Instead of letting Lillie’s grandmother feel lonely and uncomfortable in her new home, fellow resident Gladys did her best to make sure everything went well.

And although she probably also has some form of dementia, Gladys realized that Lillie’s grandma needed a helping hand. She met her with a warm heart and warm smile.

This is the kind of love and solidarity we need more of in the world!

Imagine if everyone treated others like Gladys treated Lillie’s grandmother? The world would be a better place, wouldn’t it?

Lillie’s heartwarming story has been liked and shared by hundreds of thousands of people, and it’s obvious that dementia is a problem that millions of families around the world are forced to deal with.

Most people who have some type of dementia or other memory disorder need support and help in everyday life. Thanks to Gladys for understanding this and thanks to Lillie for sharing this story. Please share it on Facebook if you were also touched by it!
