Balancing Act!
As a caregiver of someone suffering from Alzheimer’s disease, centering yourself and finding balance in your life is of utmost importance. That means taking care of your mental and physical health, staying connected with your community, getting help when you need it, and most importantly, setting realistic goals for what you can achieve.
Resolve to Make Better Resolutions!
Happy New Year everyone! Though it is really just another day on the calendar, New Year’s always inspires in me a sense of renewal and rejuvenation. And of course, it’s a time-honored tradition to make one or more resolutions for the new year.
The Gift of Gratitude
Being a caregiver is one of the most difficult jobs in the world—and being a caregiver of someone with Alzheimer’s disease even more so! It’s hard work, full of ups and downs, deep uncertainties, and the heartache of seeing someone you love slowly lose their abilities.
