FOR GREGORY. He was not a VICTIM of ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE, he was a HERO!

PLEASE NOTE: Even though this blog is now dormant there are many useful, insightful posts. Scroll back from the end or forward from the beginning. Also, check out my writer's blog. Periodically I will add posts here if they provide additional information about living well with Dementia / Alzheimer's Disease.

Halloween II


Gregory and I celebrated Halloween a day early today at Lieberman. Every holiday (Easter / Spring, Halloween / Autumn, Hanukkah / Christmas / Winter and once or twice during the summer) we give EVERYONE a treat as a thank you for all they do for Gregory. The THANKS are much appreciated. For Halloween I purchased eight buckets of 100 piece, individually wrapped red licorice and put the above label on three sides of the bucket. 

At each destination, I gave Gregory the bucket and "we" presented it to the department. Gregory got a lot of attention and thanks and love from everyone! The departments which received a bucket of licorice treats included: Front Desk, Personnel Offices, Staff Break Room, Laundry, Kitchen, Physical Therapy, Life Enrichment, and Fifth Floor Nurses Station. At the Nurses Station we added a two pound box of Frango Mint Chocolates.

You would be amazed, or maybe not, at how important it is to our helpers to get a little thanks, a little piece of candy, and a lot of love.
