Dotty is 95 years old and has Alzheimer's disease, Harvey is our Alzheimer's caregiver assistant.
Alzheimer's Reading Room
Harvey is very good at getting information out of Dotty. For example, she might tell him she has a "splitting headache". Most Alzheimer's patients are not very good at communicating this kind of information.
Best of all, Harvey is Dotty's good friend, and keeps her entertained for several hours each day.
