If you don't know what Alzheimer's is, it is a "progressive, degenerative disorder that attacks the brain's nerve cells, or neurons, resulting in loss of memory, thinking and language skills, and behavioral changes" according to the Alzheimer's Foundation of America's website.
While finding a cure for Alzheimer's is a priority, providing essential quality care and quality of life for these people is also important. Some Alzheimer's patients enjoy the trained care from a nursing home or hospital, while others depend on family members to provide the needed care that they require.
For family members that provide quality care for their loved ones, the Alzheimer's Foundation is there for anything that they may need. They provide tips for care giving, provide resources, give help on therapy and tips for safety and long term care strategies.
This is why the Alzheimer's Foundation is asking for your help this holiday season. They are looking to help give support to these caregivers, so when you are looking for a holiday gift this Christmas, please visit the Alzheimer's Foundation of America eStore and show the caregivers that you care too.
All proceeds from the Alzheimer's Foundation of America eStore products support the programs and services of the Alzheimer’s Foundation of America and its member organizations. Their Hearts of Care jewelry is beautiful and would be enjoyed by whoever you gave it to and would be even more cherished when given to a caregiver of an Alzheimer's patient. They have a wonderful coordinated necklace and bracelet and a lapel pin as well
You can always give the gift of money to them as well. Just visit their website, The Alzheimer's Foundation of America and donate what you can. You never know, it may be your dollar that helps find a cure!
