Moisture management for Alzheimer’s/Dementia patients

Rayma Scalzo

If you are a caregiver for someone with Alzheimer’s/Dementia, you are invited to attend our discussion group on Saturday, September 17, from 9:30 to 11:30 a.m.

This month we are pleased to have Jolene Capparelle from Comfort Plus address the following issues:

The common causes of incontinence

What effect diet has on incontinence

What to look for in an incontinence product, what styles are available and how they are used

This is a great opportunity to ask product questions and get to know the many options for moisture management.

Following the presentation, our time will be spent with members asking questions or sharing experiences. Our group provides information, resources and comfort for those residents who are caregivers for loved ones who have Alzheimer’s or any type of dementia. They could live in the home, at a local care facility or out of state.

Respite Care

We may be able to provide free respite care for those having Alzheimer’s/Dementia disease. This allows the caregivers the opportunity and peace of mind to attend the discussion group meeting. If you let us know, we will try to arrange for someone to come to your home during the two-hour meeting. For this assistance, we do ask that you RSVP by Thursday, September 15.

Monthly Breakfast

The caregivers meet for breakfast on the first Saturday of each month at 9:00 a.m. This gives them an opportunity to get to know each other on a more personal level. Knowing others who are going through the same journey is very beneficial.
