                  NOVEMBER IS FAMILY CAREGIVERS MONTH
Quote for Caregivers

"A difficult time can be more readily endured if we retain the conviction that our existence holds a purpose - a cause to purpose, a person to love, a goal to achieve."

                                                                                           John Maxwell

Remember the late musical artist, Dan Folgelberg?  Don't Lose Heart is the caregiving blog from his wife, Jean.

Stress Relievers for Caregivers

From the Aging Care newsletter: 1) Hot towel on the back of the neck and face. 2) Ten minute hot shower. 3) Put your stress on paper. 4) Drink tea. 5) Music is therapeutic.       6) Light a candle.

A relaxing DVD of pictures and piano music made for you and the person you care for.

See the MEDICAL ALERT CELL PHONE in the right hand column. A definite stress reliever!
Now You Know for Caregivers

November is National Alzheimer's Disease Awareness Month.  Check with your local Alzheimer's Association for all the special programs this month.

The Shriver Report: A Woman's Nation Takes On Alzheimers has valuable information for caregivers.  One study showed 72% of caregivers experienced relief when the person with dementia died.  Also, 68% of caregivers needed to reduce their work hours or quit their jobs when caring for someone with dementia.

Two words of great interest to family caregivers.

Breast cancer awareness is really every month. Read why.

This is American Diabetes Month.
