New Caregiving Website with Videos

Videocaregiving.org is a new visual education center for family caregivers. 

The videos are designed to be short, simple and direct, and are ableto be accessed easily by the user at any hour of the day or night. Manyof the videos follow a documentary format that uses real people andfollows real situations.

When you hear somebody withearly stage Alzheimer's Disease describe their embarrassment andhumiliation over being confused and not able to find their way home,you know that you are seeing a story told from the heart-a story thatyou can identify with and that may help you to better understand asituation that you, yourself, might be dealing with.

Thevideo material is able to turn words into pictures and scenes that canillustrate appropriate care-giving techniques and, in a sense, assurethe user that he or she is not alone in this often lonely, difficultand stressful situation.

The videos are short, and very informative. They have one on helping to breakdown tasks so that a person with Alzheimer's can be more involved with their daily activities.  Other videos include nursing home discussions and information about driving and how to recognize when it is time to stop.
