My Great Grandmother Billy suffered from Alzheimer's until the time of her death. This blog is in memory of her. I hope that the information provided here will help those suffering be prepared for the trials of the disease, and for family members of Alzheimer patients to care for their loved one. This blog is for anyone who would like to contribute and tell their story in dealing with Alzheimer's disease. If you would like to contribute please email me. alzheimersperspective@gmail.com

Anyone who has been around a loved one with Alzheimer's knows how agitated they can get at times. Any little thing can lead to rapid frustration. Often times, the trigger is confusing themselves or their caretaker doing something they don’t understand or approve of. Anything that helps the patient be in a more light-hearted mood is a true blessing for care givers and family members. I recently found an article showing that Alzheimer's patients increased their moods by as much as 20% after viewing entertainment that made them LAUGH! - Read more about how one man brought joy to elderly patients!
