Repetitive Questions of Alzheimer's Patients

My mother has Alzheimer's, and I take care of her.I have found that a simplified, wearable recorder (www.kindreminder.com) helps stop the frustrating, repetitive questions that she asks every day.I record information that comforts and reassures her about what is going on.A typical message might be "Hi, Mom. Today is Tuesday, you've had a good breakfast and taken all of your medication. Mary is here with you, and I will be back after lunch."My mother…See More

Virginia's Resource for Health and Aging

AlzPossible

The mission of Virginia's ALZHEIMER'S COMMISSION ALZPOSSIBLE INITIATIVE is to establish a much-needed organizational structure for coordinating purposeful activities and initiatives on Alzheimer’s and other dementing illnesses within the Commonwealth. The AlzPossible is to be established as a virtual center or a center without walls. The virtual center concept is a hybrid organization designed to leverage intellectual assets, rather than physical assets, to attain its corporate objectives. Whenever possible, the objective is to form partnerships among groups or organizations within the Commonwealth, to take advantage of their respective talents and resources, and to advance the public health goals of the Commonwealth of Virginia.

This project was supported, in part by grant number 90AZ2771 from the U.S. Administration on Aging, Department of Health and Human Services, Washington, D.C. 20201. Grantees undertaking projects under government sponsorship are encouraged to express freely their findings and conclusions. Points of view or opinions do not, therefore, necessarily represent official Administration on Aging policy.
 

The "What" on AlzPossible...

...This is a network where you can find or add new resources, learn through live webinars (or propose new ones), announce your relevant events, tell others about your organization's mission and services, ask questions or respond to others, comment and post your own videos or photos. In addition, you can chat with others (see feature to the right), write in our blog, create your own group and customize "My Page." Feel free to invite new members and expand on your network of friends within the AlzPossible...
