Alzheimer's: Be Aware and Prepared: Caregiving at Any Age

by Elaine Scholly

Overview

Alzheimer's: Be Aware and Prepared (BAP) shifts the focus from the patient's behavior to the emotional needs of the caregiver and family. The three stages of Alzheimer's describe a patient's progression through mild, moderate, and severe stages. For the caregiver, BAP introduces the Scholly Stages: the Most Important, the Most Demanding, and the Most Difficult stages of caregiving. It acknowledges a caregiver's struggles, then provides encouragement and solutions. Visit ElaineScholly.info for related information.

BAP merges studied data from various sources to help create personal solutions for the anxieties of caregiving. Seemingly impossible situations can be redirected to generate more positive results. It explains the relationship between the brain, body, and Alzheimer's, and helps navigate the necessity of early planning. BAP identifies the actions needed in order to become aware and prepared, and encourages all ages to be mindful. BAP becomes a solid reference book along the way. Everyone—children, grandchildren, young adults, parents—can benefit from the guidance offered in BAP. Being a caregiver is definitely a challenge, but it can alter your life in the best possible way, by strengthening you inside.
