A huge thank you to OstrichUK for inviting me to be a guest blogger on their site this past Friday. I truly appreciate the opportunity and love everything this company is doing to help #ENDALZ.
Did you know that earlier this year, the wonderful folks at Ostrich donated thousands of window stickers and information posters to Norman McNamara’s Purple Angel campaign? Their generosity is helping to create dementia aware communities all over the world!
Here’s a link to my guest blog, a bit on the journey from denial to acceptance and the lessons learned in between. I hope it will strike a chord with other caregivers and loved ones, so please feel free to share Life After Caregiving.

My friends at A Place for Mom and I are very excited to share a compilation piece recently published by PBS Next Avenue.
Welcome to ‘Dementia Village’ is based on several of our articles regarding a unique dementia care community located in Holland.
At Hogewey, residents have the freedom to roam about without restriction. They can visit with friends, shop for groceries, stop by a cafe for lunch, or just relax by the pond and enjoy a sunny afternoon. Nurses and caregivers, dressed in street clothes, are there to provide 24×7 care; however, the environment is far from “clinical.”
Sound interesting? You can read more in the PBS Next Avenue article, which can be found here.
