Comments on: Senior Info Expo at Fruit Cove Baptist Church http://www.informedeldercare.com/senior-info-expo/ Helping caregivers with information and resources Sun, 21 Aug 2011 10:49:19 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Kathy Hatfield http://www.informedeldercare.com/senior-info-expo/comment-page-1/#comment-3 Kathy Hatfield Thu, 15 Oct 2009 20:55:10 +0000 http://www.informedeldercare.com/?p=220#comment-3 My name is Kathy and I am the full time caregiver for my eighty one year-old Dad who has Alzheimer's and lives with me in North Carolina. When my Mom died in 2004 and Dad moved in with me, I had no idea what to do. But day by day, I found ways to cope, and even enjoy having my Dad with me. So I started writing a blog at www.KnowItAlz.com, which shows the "lighter" side of caring for someone with dementia. After a while, I added over 100 pages of helpful information and tips for caregivers. We even have a Chat room so caregivers can communicate with each other from home. Art and music are a very large part of my Dad's therapy. Please pass this link along to anyone you feel would enjoy it. Thanks!
