Nick with the love of his life, Nancy

What is Your Definition of a Family Caregiver?

Nick was my father’s first cousin and he was kind and he was generous. He would come to my grandmother’s house (his Aunt Laura) in Brooklyn on Sundays when we went to visit. Sometimes his parents would come visit as well. We saw him when we were small through our late teens and maybe even […]

Loving Someone with Alzheimer’s Disease

Valentine’s Day is a little over a month away and I am lucky enough to be surrounded by so much love in my life. Love from my husband and children, other family members, my friends, even my colleagues. Traditional spouses are planning to buy chocolate and flowers for their loves for Valentine’s Day. More modern […]

Simplify What it is to Be Thankful-A Five Year Old’s View

Gratitude is something that I practice on a regular basis and something that I try to share with the people I’m closest to as well as the seniors that I educate. It’s so easy to let a bad day take us over to the point where we may feel very little gratitude. I lived my […]

Never Give Personal Information to Get Personal Information.

When I was a caregiver for my mother, I juggled a full-time job, two children, a relationship, and trying to be the best caregiver I could be. When the time came that I needed help, I would hop on the computer at night and Google information. This was a daunting task. Primarily because not all […]

YOU Can Help Raise Awareness of the Power of Music in Those with Dementia.

When you hear the song You Are My Sunshine, does it make you think of a family member? A resident? A patient? Does it bring up a childhood memory? A memory of your own children, perhaps? You Are My Sunshine is a song that my grandmother sang to my mother. My mother sang to me […]

thank you

A Special Thank You

I have to take a moment to thank some folks. Starting with two very special people who have helped this vision come to life. Linda Mundie of the Gardens at Monroe and Cris Brown of Imperial Healthcare have been the sounding boards to all of my madness, talked me off of ledges, and spent many […]
