Dog Days of Summer
August is National Dog Month and for many people with dementia their love of furry friends has not waned through the course of their disease progression. However, relationships with pets can change for some people. Caregivers can assist their loved ones in navigating these changes when informed. 
 

 

 

Let's Go to Movies
 

There has not been a lack of Hollywood depictions of what it is like to suffer with Alzheimer's disease or other dementia related disorders. Being a caregiver of a person with dementia has also been the subject of many movies. Some of these have been accurate depictions, while others have been overdramatized versions of reality. Grab your popcorn and choose from ones we recommend!
 
 
 
 

A Video Playlist for Caregivers

 

St. John's has compiled for easy viewing all of the informational and testimonial videos from our Online Dementia Resource Center into a playlist on St. John's YouTube Channel. On our Dementia Resource Center playlist are some of the best personal accounts from caregivers on what they are facing. May this provide the comfort that you are not alone whenever you need it!
