I’ve been running a poll for about a month on Alzheimer’s Notes and now have some results to report. Thank you for participating in this poll. Your answers help me to know you better and decide what information would be helpful for you.
Question: Have you attended an Alzheimer’s caregivers’ support group?
Answers: 45% yes; 45% no; […]
When friends learn my mom and aunt developed Alzheimer’s and had very advanced conditions of this disease when they died, they often ask, “Aren’t you afraid you’ve inherited the tendency for Alzheimer’s? That you’ll develop this disease”
I tell them, “I don’t have time to worry about it,” especially since scientists don’t yet know whether a […]
When I saw my photo of the chickadee at the feeder included in my travel article at American Roads, “Discovering the Wonders of a Winter Woodland” my thoughts turned to memories of my mom during and before her Alzheimer’s years. Mother always enjoyed watching the birds in any season and called our attention to them as […]
There’s an interesting post at Life Without Memories about “Newer Isn’t Always Better.” We’re told that isn’t always to our advantage to purchase the latest gadgets and appliances for our family member with Alzheimer’s or for our home when they’re living there. They may have great difficulty learning to use these items.
It’s also difficult for […]
With posts revolving around the theme of “love” for this month’s Theme Day, bloggers of b5media’s Science & Health Channel have contributed on a variety of topics. This month, we’re hosted by Kristen King at Lively Women.
At Alzheimer’s Notes, I wrote about my insight on love for my mom which was deepened as I cared for her during […]
As Valentine’s Day approaches, I recall those celebrations of the past, when Mother was alive…before and during her Alzheimer’s years. As I reflect, I realize that my love for Mother continued, even though she was much changed from the woman I once knew. She taught us a great deal about love throughout her life, which […]

Researchers at the Rush University Medical Center in Chicago have been conducting a four-year study concerning the relationship between loneliness and dementia and Alzheimer’s.
Researcher Robert Wilson reported that people who considered “themselves as lonely […]
Apparently the TV show, “Gray’s Anatomy” dealt with Alzheimer’s in an episode recently, whereby the mother with this disease was completely lucid for two days. Discussion has evolved whether this situation, lucidity for such a long period, is possible.
You might find it interesting to join in one blog discussing this.

Perhaps you’ve decided to develop a business to help Alzheimer’s caregivers. This might involve sitting with the family member so the caregiver can have some relief, get out to shop, go out to dinner, even make dentist and doctor’s appointments. Or you may do shopping for the caregiver who can’t get away to do this. Maybe […]
David wrote me about his blog, Sunshine and Descent (or a Glimpse of Joe) where he relates his dad, Joe’s, story and his wife’s and his caregiving experiences. He discusses the day to day incidents about caring for his dad who has developed Alzheimer’s. David and his wife are in this “sandwich generation” with children […]
