AFA stands up against inappropriate antipsychotic drug use for people with Alzheimer’s

  We’ve addressed the inappropriate use of antipsychotic drugs for dementia patients a number of times on these pages. In one article, I wrote about my dad’s terrifying experience after he was given one of those antipsychotic drugs after failed brain surgery and my fight to get him off the drug.   Though I’ve long... Read moreChevron

Coping with criticism from the loved one you care for

Caregivers frequently turn their lives inside out in order to care for their loved ones in decline. I know, because I've done it. The number of elders who depended on my help increased throughout the years, to a total of seven, though the most I cared for at one time was five. I also had two children and work part time writing as a... Read moreChevron

Don’t sweat the small stuff: bloopers can add to family Christmas stories

No matter how well we plan, most of us have some loose ends to tie up Christmas Eve day, just before going to church or having the family gather at our home. The present that was ordered early and then delayed remains in question. Will it arrive in time? The fruit tray reserved at the grocery store. Will it be there when we arrive to pick it... Read moreChevron

Alzheimer’s: the serious nature of wandering behavior

It’s been several years, now, but I’ve never forgotten the story. A then 58-year-old Minnesota woman had been diagnosed with early on-set Alzheimer’s. She was, in most aspects, still doing well. But one day she got in her car and drove west on the Interstate. No one will ever know why. She got stuck off a road in Wyoming, left... Read moreChevron

Have we made progress with Alzheimer’s management and treatment?

A recent Huffington Post article on what we’ve learned about Alzheimer’s disease during the last 30 years caught my eye because it’s easy to think there’s been no progress. We can’t reliably prevent the disease, though lifestyle seems to work into the prevention strategy for many health ills. We can’t cure the... Read moreChevron
