Pot Luck Nation
The concept of a “pot luck” dinner is quite apt for the community of friends, family, and professionals who gather together in the crucial task of helping a caregiver of a loved one suffering from Alzheimer’s. From a friend who offers you a soothing embrace, to the lab technicians who help track your loved one’s vital health details, to the family member who steps in to help cover you when you need to be away, each person in your “caregiving village” plays a critical role in your day.
No Time Like the Present
No matter where your loved one is in their journey, there are opportunities to plan ahead and reduce future stress. While no plan can remove the challenges these illnesses bring, thoughtful preparation can make the road ahead a little easier.
