Alzheimer's & Memory Albums

If you'd like to read about making Memory Books/Albums for and with Alzheimer's patients, visit my Alzheimer's Notes site at www.alzheimersnotes.com. I wrote about my experience making scrapbooks with residents at the nursing home where my mom once lived.

I also linked to Carol Moxley's story about her dad and Memory Albums.

My mom and aunt were afflicted with Alzheimer's disease. I've also made an album about my mom's Alzheimer's years and mention it in an earlier article on Alzheimer's Notes.

Some people might find it sad to do this. Our family looks at those pictures and remembers the joy we brought my mom during this time in her life. It is amazing that in just about every picture she'd smiling.

Protecting the Alzheimer's Patient from the Sun

To learn more about protecting your family member from the sun when they may not realize the dangers because of Alzheimer's, visit my web site at www.alzheimersnotes.com . There I've posted information on this topic, as well as some research regarding clothing that offers more protection than others.

Because someone with Alzheimer's, if they knew about the danger of UV rays, may have forgotten, we need to be aware for them.
