Getting organized in Alzheimer's journey is a significant challenge for the Alzheimer's family. Often the member of the family are not sure how to support the primary caregiver. We show them how; to get organized, to assign roles to family members to be proactive in getting educated about the disease. Areas to Organize include: Financial, Legal and Medical Records into binders. Also developing a support network for the primary caregiver which includes social network and professional services network. And because this is a spiritual journey we include how to bring your church into your world. This is supported with a webinar for the family to review the chapters of the book, get questions answered and have an on-line family meeting about getting organized. We do not give advice on any and all topics covering Financial, Legal or Medical. It is suggested that a family seek the services of a State licensed professional before making any and all final decisions.
Author Biography
Mr. Poillon has four certifications by the Alzheimer's Association, in each stage of the disease progression. He has had a personal experience with dementia and was a patient in a secured Alzheimer's ward, but did not have Alzheimer's. He understands what life is like inside the shell of a man who is present but not in the moment. Given his partial recovery, he now serves the needs of those families caring for a loved one with Alzheimer's. This is his calling to serve others and the Lord. It is with this service in mind that he designed R House Alzheimer's Family Learning Centers. "The real challenge is not building a model in serving this targeted group. It is in helping them to see God's hand in this, using their faith". My purpose of providing the skills training and tools for managing dementia behavior, is to clear the families mind so they can see that they are on a spiritual journey in the discovery of coming closer to God, as they learn to rely on Him, His will not theirs. Regardless of their faith practice, in this journey, it is God's plan to show us His Divine Mercy, we must Ask for His Mercy, Be merciful to our loved one and others, and Completely "trust in Him". This book is designed to get the family organized to better serve their loved one and the Lord.
