CAREGIVER FOLLOW ME is a unique book for chief caregivers of Alzheimers patients living at home. Patti has heard the caregivers pleas for help and has done something about it. Caregivers need help and that help can come in the form of a specially trained dog; an Alzheimers dog that the caregiver can train themselves. Patti knows her subject from twenty-five years of hands-on-experience and generously gives her knowledge in language a lay person can understand. For clarification she uses photographs, illustrations, stories, and diagrams. The dogs explicit job is wander control and Pattis humane training methods have been proven to work. All of the training techniques that Patti developed for the Alzheimers dogs are available to you. She knows that caregivers will experience pure joy as they journey with her in creating an Alzheimers dog that becomes their partner in the confrontation against dementia. Together they can keep their loved one at home where they can provide maximum care with less stress. Using Pattis personal knowledge of her subject matter you will craft a working partnership with your dog that gives you peace of mind and offers a myriad of therapeutic benefits for your patient, yourself, and your entire family. Wouldnt it be nice to get a good nights sleep knowing that your dog is affectionately watching over your loved one listening for, hearing, and recognizing a potential wandering situation? There would be no more, What did I hear? Is she up? Should I get up again and check? Your dog will handle this for you and be absolutely delighted to perform its job. The only wage that your dog asks for is your acknowledgement that it has done its job, has pleased you, and will get oodles of your love. Primary to your success is establishing the idea that each training session, from the dogs viewpoint, is a game it can play with you for its entire life. You will be teaching your dog nine steps that, once put together, will be known as the pattern, which the dog will execute in order to successfully complete its work task. These nine steps are taught from within five different environments; each one getting progressively more challenging for the dog. This way you can efficiently teach the dog what it must learn to become an Alzheimers dog. Learn its language and listen to its voice--your dog is already reading you. Take pride in yourself and your dog. Teach your dog to hear for you.

Family caregiving affects millions of Americans every day, in all walks of life. At least 17.7 million individuals in the United States are caregivers of an older adult with a health or functional limitation. The nation's family caregivers provide the lion's share of long-term care for our older adult population. They are also central to older adults' access to and receipt of health care and community-based social services. Yet the need to recognize and support caregivers is among the least appreciated challenges facing the aging U.S. population. Families Caring for an Aging America examines the prevalence and nature of family caregiving of older adults and the available evidence on the effectiveness of programs, supports, and other interventions designed to support family caregivers. This report also assesses and recommends policies to address the needs of family caregivers and to minimize the barriers that they encounter in trying to meet the needs of older adults.

What would happen if The Unthinkable blindsided you, requiring everything be put on hold to become a full time caregiver for a loved one? At the very least, it would reshape your life. Without a survival guide, it could even destroy it. Barb Owen delivers precisely that survival guide in NORMAL Doesn't Live Here Anymore: An Inspiring Story of Hope for Caregivers. She weaves a story, through the first two parts of the book, based on her life-changing experience as primary caregiver for her elderly parents. Following each chapter a bit of wisdom gained from Barb's experience is summarized as a Reflection. The third part of NORMAL Doesn't Live Here Anymore addresses the critical need for self-care for the new and seasoned caregiver alike. Specific suggestions abound for Me Time-how to find it-what to do with it-and how very important it is for sustaining oneself throughout the often arduous caregiving-marathon. This truly inspiring book is one part parable, one part autobiography and all survival guide, illuminating a path for the more than 65 million caregiving Americans. "Everything hinges on your ability to care for both yourself and your loved one," says Owen. "This maxim is of great consequence-heed it, and you will endure. Dismiss it, and you will have trouble surviving. Take care of yourself, your loved one and keep the faith, because you're not alone." ----- EXCERPT FROM: NORMAL Doesn't Live Here Anymore - Chapter 21; The morning after I brought my 90-year-old Dad home from the hospital, Mom called me to say that he was not feeling at all well. My nagging intuition insisted that I visit Dad and spend some private time with him. Finding Dad awake and resting in his bed, I struggled to find my voice. Sitting beside him, I asked, "How are you feeling this morning?" "Oh, I'm so-so," he sighed, as a tear rolled from his eye on to the pillow that cradled his head. "Really tired of all of this and worried about your mother. She's having a hard time with everything." We stayed there in silence-just being together for a few moments. Holding his hand, the heavy words finally left my mouth. "You know, Dad, you can trust me to be sure that Mom is okay. I will take care of her, no matter what." He responded quietly, "I know." Studying and caressing my dad's hand, I knew there was one more important conversation that the voice in my heart insisted upon. "Dad, I know that this is getting to be really tough for you. If staying here becomes too hard, it's okay to let go..." During the following few weeks I watched my 89 year old Mom experience a renewed sense of purpose and increased strength as she doted on my dad and met his needs, as best she could. Some days were better than others. Most nights were difficult when Dad's heart pain was significantly worse and his level of anxiety escalated. Often my mom would pass the hours by reading to Dad. Although her eyesight was clouding, she still managed to read the newspaper, column by column, or inspirational short stories she found in the stack of magazines beside their bed. Amazingly, dawn nearly always brought ease and comfort for them both. And so the nights and days continued... ----- REFLECTION; Difficult subjects sometimes need to be discussed. You might be asked by others to deliver bad news-news of someone's death, a life-altering diagnosis, or even the necessity for a change in residence. Each conversation carries the potential for unleashed emotions. My advice? No matter how difficult or emotional, don't leave words left unsaid. People, if capable of understanding, deserve information. Often, they are much stronger than we realize. Words are powerful. They carry courage, condemnation, reassurance or permission. Choose them wisely as your words may be the ones that bring freedom from pain or suffering. It's tough, but I know you can do it and if you listen to that voice inside, you will know exactly the right time and the right words. Be Strong!

A Caregiver’s Diary (Struggling With Alzheimer’s) By: William Franklin Kerns This is a love story. William and his wife, Dora, shared a beautiful marriage of fifty-four years when Alzheimer’s disease began to take a fierce grip on Dora’s health and mind. Intimate and deeply moving, William beautifully captures snippets of their daily interactions and conversations, revealing how this disease not only ravaged Dora’s mind and well-being but also challenged his relationship with his longtime love. William details his daily struggles as Dora’s sole caregiver as her disease progressed and as their marriage moved from a mutually supportive one to one that required William’s constant support and care. This diary details the harsh reality of Alzheimer’s while also capturing touching moments shared between a husband and wife. This story is an honest, often raw look at the effects of this disease, not only on the afflicted but on those who love them.
