Learn, Share and Contribute: Three Care Giving Resources
Learn, Share and Contribute: Three Care Giving Resources
One of the most debilitating illnesses that challenge family members as much as the person afflicted is Alzheimer’s. The Alzheimers Association http://www.alz.org has created a plethora of resources for both the person afflicted with the illness and the person’s family, social group and caregivers. Here’s two resources that have proved helpful to individuals I know personally, who are involved with the consuming task of care giving.
Another resource that’s devoted to alerting readers to development in Alzheimer’s research and tips is "The Retiree's News Basket" http://retirees-newsbasket.blogspot.com .The writers take you through the basics of care, stories of folks in the Alzheimer’s community and up to date notes about breaking research.
Finally, a similarly great resource for caregivers in general is www.caregiver.org This association, called the Caregiver Media Group, produces several publications all geared towards serving the caregiver. Check out their website for general and specific tips on caregiving. They also sponsor conferences and online discussion groups (which are great for getting opinions from other caregivers when you are faced with a specific problem you’re trying to resolve for the person for whom you are caregiving). Their publication is called Today’s Caregiver and is available through their website.
We all benefit when we can learn, share and contribute to and from one another.
