Alzheimer's Association

My husband was diagnosed 3 years ago with dementia after he began to lose things. He would accuse someone of stealing, even in the night. He was on medication but his symptoms progressed to anger and short fuse over little things. This was a man who was soft spoken, slow to anger and gentle. It was such a change for us to try to manage a whole new way of living. He is 67, I'm 66 and I felt so stressed sometimes. I didn't know what each day will start with. I retired in April that year and was with him 24/7. I have been researching for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you ever come across www Health herbs clinic com Dementia HERBAL FORMULA (just google it). It is a smashing one of a kind product for reversing Dementia completely. 4 months into treatment he has improved dramatically. The disease is totally under control. No case of dementia, particularly the hallucination, weakness, and his mood swings. Visit their website healthherbsclinic. Com I Just wanted to share for people suffering from this horrible disease

This is potentially a useful resource if you're a caregiver or relative of a person with a cognitive brain disorder such as Alzheimer's disease, and you're located in the USA.

You start by creating a free account here and registering as many details about the person as you can. If that person then wanders away, the police and ambulance services can access the information quickly and also use the site to issue a public alert. Anyone you've previously placed on a contact list here will also immediately be alerted by both email and SMS text message.

Upcoming is a service that will also track your loved one via the GPS built into their cell phone. The phone on offer is a Boost Mobile model which comes with the GPS tracking software installed for an additional cost of only around $15. And it's a durable model with $5 of credit provided, so all you have to do is make sure your loved one is carrying it at all times. There's a subscription charge for the service ranging from $20 a month to just over $200 a year and the phone plus software costs $80 at the time of writing. Much more information on this service is available at the site.

This is a non-profit non-commercial affair running on a low- or no budget, and it shows in the rather patchy site content and layout at the moment. It really needs the donated services of a professional web designer or two to make the information better organized and accessible. But it is a new startup and it's only been in operation for a couple of months. I'm sure if it's successful, it will find support in many places. And so it should. Given that most dementia patients who wander off don't survive, anything that may help is worth promoting.

Although I do have a very elderly relative to care for myself, I'm fortunate in that he's not suffering from any of these terrible diseases and isn't at all likely to be wandering away in the near future. However, I could personally really use something along the lines of missingkeys.com or missingglasses.com, to cope with my own senior moments;-)
