1,000 act of kindness #1

1,000 acts if kindness. Caregiver Access wants to acknowledge every time a Caregiver can still show affection to a mom that's driving them crazy, or a bossy dad, a husband that didn't like what they made for dinner, a wife who complained about which toothpaste they bought at the grocery store or a child whose medical needs are all consuming. Giving a hug, a squeeze of a hand, a quick kiss can feel harder than climbing a mountain.

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.
