I have cared for seniors in one capacity or another since childhood. I have spent the last 9 years developing a program of care for individuals with alzheimer's. Five years ago I implemented my program and the results have been outstanding. Our clients have shown dramatic improvement, slowed progression of their illness and enjoyed a spectacular quality of life. Three years ago I began a test project of teaching our alzheimer's clients a form of sign language to assist them in communicating their needs and understanding our requests. I have had great success in teaching these clients the signs and having them respond appropriately. I have even had a clinet the began signing back to us and made up a few of her own signs. I am so excited about the program we provide for our clients and the improvement we see and the quality of life they enjoy. For our clients alzheimer's is just a word not a sentence.
