An Alzheimer's blog you should visit

My name is J. Green. I’m a writer and social media expert for AlzCare. One of my jobs is to scour the internet, looking for the latest news and information about Alzheimer’s Disease, treatment, care, facilities, stories, etc. I post stories, links, and information here at our website. I also tweet my findings at our Twitter Account – AlzheimersWatch. If you want to get the latest news on Alzheimer’s, follow me on Twitter.

I found a very interesting blog some months back, written by a woman named Sandy. The blog is called Alzheimer’s Support. Sandy’s mother had Alzheimer’s Disease and Sandy cared for her until she died. Now Sandy writes about her experiences. This is good stuff. I’ve read just about everything she has written, and I’ve noticed that her blog posts are:

1. Practical. She does not shy away from difficult subjects. And she almost always offers practical suggestions.
2. Poignant. Sandy’s stories have an emotional, “human” element to them. I enjoy reading her stories about her experiences with her mother. Take a look at this story about her mother, a computer, and Solitaire.
3. Knowledgeable. You’ll find good information at Sandy’s blog.

Lately I’ve been impressed with posts about how to know if you should have an Alzheimer’s patient move in with you, tips for bathing and hygiene, how to survive the holidays with a family member who has dementia, and a story about her mother and shopping.

Check out Alzheimer’s Support. You’ll be glad you did.
