Caring for my Dad with Alzheimer's

[KathyNC]

Hello,

I am the primary caregiver for my 78 year old Dad who has Alzheimer's Disease and lives with me in NC (USA).

I am writing a blog that shows the lighter side of caregiving, and offers tips for caregivers.

Please pass this link along to anyone you think may enjoy it.

I am looking forward to learning from your group.

Thanks,
Kathy

Hi Kathy

thanks for posting here.

I will probably be moving your thread later, when I've figured out where it should go. It is not really in the most appropriate place at the moment, so I'm giving it some thought.

Where in NC are you? I know Cary well, Raleigh, Asheville, Nags Head as well. NC is a lovely state.

I'd agree - Raising Awareness

and I have also raised Grommits post -

to the attention of some of the AS Campaigning and Services mgrs as I believe these personal account can be of immense value to people who find themselves following in the footsteps of other carers.

You are both very fortunate to have each other and your fund raising efforts for dementia respite to aid other carers is wonderful.I am sure you will be made very welcome here and you will learn alot and find yourself amongst great company.
