Happy New Year

You should be ready for a New Year’s celebration with someone who has dementia. Your hat on your head and ready to party on in whatever manner you so choose.

Just a note, making hats like this can be done for other holidays and special occasions. For example: Valentines day and Mardi gras are coming up.

Moving on to the next topic- New Year’s Resolutions

What resolutions are you going to make and keep?

It is easy to say you are going to do something. It is much harder to actually do it.

If you are a caregiver or a healthcare professional, you have seen first hand what  Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias can do to people. Beyond that, you have seen what these diseases have done to families.

At least eighty percent of people in long term care have some form of dementia

What will you do in 2009 to stave off Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias in you and in those you care about?

In the next series of posts to follow, I will give you some suggestions and ways to keep those New Year’s resolutions

By Susan Berg author of Adorable Photographs of Our Baby-Meaningful Mind Stimulating Activities and More for the Memory Challenged, Their Loved Ones and Involved Professionals a book for those with dementia and an excellent resource for caregivers and healthcare professionals.
