HAPPY THANKSGIVING,
I know that holidays are tough when you are dealing with a loved one with Alzheimer's. If you have to go to the nursing home to see them, and you are busy or out of town tomorrow try and do it today or on Friday. Remember the fun times you had with them before this terrible disease took over. If you are having your family at the house and your loved one with Alzheimer's lives there, have patience with them. They may feel lost with all the commotion, or just be quiet and watch and then the next day have out bursts. Remember that you have taken them off their schedule, and there is a lot more noise in the house than they are use to. Remember that you are an angel with acts of kindness, and giving back what you were once given. If you ever have questions please don't hesitate to ask.

Remember the 3 important things that you need to do if you are taking care of a loved one with Alzheimer's. Find a Support Group. Get Respite care. Don't forget Hospice.

Have a great holiday and may God Bless You!
Sincerely,
Marie Fostino
