I'm excited to share a wonderful resource, a new website by geriatrician Leslie Kernisan, M.D., M.P.H. It is Better Health While Aging, at betterhealthwhileaging.net.
The site gives tools and practical info on topics many caregivers will encounter at one time or another. I encourage you to check it out.

Who Am I? Scrapbook
What a great idea presented in this week's Caregiver.com e-newsletter. Whether the care-ee has or doesn't have dementia, talking about the past can be a warm and bridge-building activity. And if the caregiver is new to the care-ee, having a Who Am I? scrapbook would be helpful. Even family caregivers might benefit from a few reminders about Dad's war years, Mom's pet charities from her volunteer positions, favorite sports teams, any awards they received, and so forth. Get ideas for what to include in Lynn Lancaster Gorge's article here. A Who Am I? scrapbook is a fun conversation starter.
