A stimulating village environment for those with alzheimers dementia has been recreated in a nursing home in Bristol, UK. Seems like a pretty cool idea…and it shows that the administrators and staff care enough to make this kind of effort for the residents. Thank you care providers!
I really like Dr. Linda Rhodes’ website…especially the Caregiver Tips. This is practical and immediately useful info for caregivers. Check out the sections about Medicare, especially the inpatient vs. observation status. Because I work in hospitals I can attest that this observation status boondoggle is becoming more and more prevalent these days, and the adverse drug effects section is incredibly important as well!
This web site is the companion piece to Dr. Rhodes’ books. “The Essential Guide to Caring for Aging Parents,” shows you how to communicate with loved ones on difficult caregiving issues and how to navigate the world of eldercare. It’s chock full of easy steps, practical advice and personal stories.

We would really like to thank Marji Yablon for her informative and incredibly well written article about Caregiver Revolution that was featured in last Sunday’s Poughkeepsie Journal: Caregiving Redefined
This is an amazing concept in care, happening in the Netherlands. Well worth a look.
These games are a lot of fun and very different that what you might think a video/computer game is. If you’ve never played a video game before, Love or Lucky Buddha is the one to start on. Great activity for caregivers and their loved ones and only 99 cents!
Have fun, you’ll find a whole list of caregiver activities in Caregiver Revolution!
