Virtual Dementia Tour and discussion

Attention Caregivers of those with Alzheimer's and Dementia.

Join us on March 31, 2011 at 3 p.m. for a panel discussion on "When Your Loved One Changes" and then a Virtual Dementia Tour at 5 p.m.
The event is being held at the Atria Briarcliff on Pleasantville Rd. Call 914-368-5506 for information and to register for the tour. There are only a few spots left.

Learning to create a positive environment for those with Dementia can only come from attempting to walk in their shoes. This valuable, easy to follow tour is designed to help you identify with and understand your loved one’s behaviors and needs.

The VDT® offers hope to Caregivers, providing tips and tools necessary to create an environment that supports the disease and lessens confusion.

"Catching" your sweetie's dementia?

You do the things you need to do to keep you and your spouse afloat when they develope dementia. Then you read an article like this one that says you are a more likely candidate for dementia because you are a Caregiver.
What about all the love and the sense of purpose that many of us Caregivers feel? Those emotions are good for you. Taking on the role of your sweetie's advocate is a powerful healer. Where are those studies that Caregiving may be good for you?
