  • Alzheimer’s: Capture every moment, every moment

    I’ve never seen a more hellish disease than Alzheimer’s.
    The name of the disease strikes terror in the lives of the victims and their families. Caring for an Alzheimer’s patient is a process that will utterly consume the lives and well-being of the people giving care, just as the disorder consumes its victims.
    I guess every family has been affected by this disease or some form of dementia.

  • Recognize the caregivers

    By MAURICE LANGSTON

    Caregivers are caring-givers!
    Noun: A family member, friend, or neighbor who takes care of a frail or disabled older person.
    YOU ARE A CAREGIVER IF YOU:
    • Bring dad a few groceries.
    • Take your wife to the doctor.
    • Remind mom to take her pills.
    START CALLING YOURSELF A CAREGIVER.
    Family members and friends who provide care to a loved one often think of themselves as daughters, husbands, partners, and friends – not caregivers.
