The Alzheimer's Foundation of America (AFA) unveiled an interactive "community of care" Web site that will help family caregivers meet other caregivers, learn about the brain disorder and connect "live" with experts.
Called Care Crossroads, the site addresses the feelings of isolation and stigma among Alzheimer's patients and caregivers. It also fills a growing need for alternate types of support services. For example social workers are standing by to respond to questions and concerns via live Skype and chat, as well as e-mail and phone calls to the organization's toll-free hot line at 866-232-8484. Caregivers are introduced to other caregivers via "I Care" video stories and creative contributions, with more of each to be posted regularly. The "House of Care" is the go-to place where visitors can click on specific rooms to learn more about strategies for behavioral challenges, recreational activities and safety issues appropriate for the specific stages of the disease.
Connect: Authored by: Ageing. Ageing (British English) or aging (American English) is the accumulation of changes in a person over time.[1] Ageing in humans refers to a multidimensional process of physical, psychological, and social change.
Some dimensions of ageing grow and expand over time, while others decline. Reaction time, for example, may slow with age, while knowledge of world events and wisdom may expand. Research shows that even late in life, potential exists for physical, mental, and social growth and development.[2] Ageing is an important part of all human societies reflecting the biological changes that occur, but also reflecting cultural and societal conventions. Ageing is among the largest known risk factors for most human diseases.[3] Roughly 100,000 people worldwide die each day of age-related causes.[4] Age is measured chronologically, and a person's birthday is often an important event. Population ageing is the increase in the number and proportion of older people in society. Senescence[edit] National Advisory Council on Aging (NACA) Journal of the American Geriatrics Society.
