Tips & Ideas for Alzheimer and Dementia Caregivers

All My Best Alzheimer and Dementia Caregiver Posts and Ideas.... Aging parents tips and ideas for caregivers. I take care of Mom and have learned so much for caring for elderly loved ones at home or when she is in the nursing home.

I take care of Mom in my house with my husband, two youngest kids, 3 dogs, 3 cats, a turtle and some fish. I have learned so much about caring for elderly loved ones at home or when she is in the nursing home.

Hopefully this is a fun look at caregiving that provides real world tips and strategies to avoid burnout and stress.

I process stress by writing and so having this blog has helped me to cope when I am elbow deep in poop or ready to tear my hair out over repeated questions. Hopefully some of the things I have learned can help you too!
