Hi, my name is Beth. My Mom, Marilyn is 85 and was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s this past spring. She is now in the middle stages. My oldest brother lives with her and has been caring for her but now we have more people helping as she stopped bathing and getting dressed. They are both planning to move to an assisted living place together soon. I’ve noticed some things on your instagram that people have given as gifts. Do you have links for these items? The Gadget box or the snuggle puppy for example?

Also do you have any good resources on to how to talk with someone with Alzheimer’s. My brother keeps trying to correct her but I don’t think it’s helpful and she gets very anxious at times when he does.

Thank you for creating this! It’s a devastating disease and the grief is overwhelming.

Always, Beth
