Our nation's medical community, while striving daily to attain answers and more knowledge, is still at a loss concerning many aspects of Alzheimer's disease.  Unfortunately,  some people will progress more rapidly through the mild, moderate and severe stages of the disease and there is no tool that will enable a caregiver to predict the decline their loved one will experience. 

Sitters Etc. took part in sponsorship of the annual Patricia Hart Society's HART to Heart Luncheon on February 5, 2010 at The Factory at Franklin.  The Patricia Hart Society encourages women to engage in philanthropy, mentorship, volunteerism and advocacy to support United Way of Williamson County.

Many elderly persons rely entirely on their children, family members or other trusted individuals to help them. This dependence upon caregivers or family members makes an older person more vulnerable to abuse and financial exploitation. Legal arrangements and protective actions by family may be necessary to shield loved ones from making bad decisions or from being taken advantage of.

Did your loved one serve in the U.S. military?  If so, they may be eligible for home care benefits from the VA!
