November is NATIONAL ALZHEIMER'S AWARENESS MONTH. Please visit their Official Web Site. Take a look at some of their resources for caregivers.

This would be a great time to focus on the needs of the residents with this disease and their caregivers. Here are some resources that we have located.

• Check out this new training resource from Chaplain Bill Goodrich of God Cares Ministry called "Reaching Beyond the Limitations of Dementia".
• Contact us for a copy of "Coping with Caring - When Someone You Love has Alzheimer's or a Related Condition" by Lyn Roche. We will send you a copy for a donation of any amount while our supply lasts. Here is some info about the books.

• Visit our Communication Tips Web Page.

• Download a free copy of "Heavenly Assurance" by Diana McMahan of Musical Medicine.

• What is Alzheimer's? by the Alzheimer"s Association.

• Dr.s Rich & Diana Walters offer resources on their TouchingGrace.org Web Site. They feature Creative Christian activities that refresh spiritual life for Alzheimer's patients or those with other dementia or cognitive impairment. They provide useful and proven Ministry Aids.
  1. We highly recommend their "Remembering The Life of Jesus" Multi-Sensory Book.

  2. Take a look at their ministry materials and download the free sample of Fun With Words.

  3. Check out their great "How To" Suggestions.

• Check out the Web Site for GLEAM Ministry for Dementia Patients. Make sure to listen to some examples of their CDs! This web site is currently under redesign. Please contact us for their recent newsletter.
