As these diseases progress, the needs of patients will change, often necessitating more products to assist in caregiving. Chief on the list of concerns regarding the dementia patients is their tendency to wander and get lost. If not quickly found, victims can suffer injuries along with dehydration and other health risks. Safety and Wander alarms that allow wanderers to be tracked and found quickly are vital. Newer designs include bracelets or wristbands with a built-in flash drive that stores medical and contact information along with the patient’s name, enabling any needed medical attention to be delivered promptly.

MEMORIES IN THE MAKING
La Doris “Sam” Heinly~ National Program Consultant

Memories in the Making (MIM) art program provides Alzheimer’s artists with a forum to express themselves through painting and drawing, when words have failed them. Alzheimer’s disease often impacts verbal communication early on in the disease process.  This results in the patient withdrawing for fear of embarrassment,
and leads families and care providers to assume the person is unable to communicate.  However, Memories in the Making artists have proven over and over again
that they are “still here” by creating beautiful and meaningful artwork that provides a unique glimpse into their past.
