DEMENTIA AND THEIR CAREGIVERS Dr. Ellen Kerber, M.D., family practice physician and wellness advocate, will share current research and recommendations for using essential oils for both caregivers and their loved ones. Essential oils are a safe, simple method of promoting calm, rest, and balance and enhancing mood in those with dementia and in those who care for them. 'ALZHEIMER’S GIFTS' Rick Naymark, author of the book "Alzheimer’s Gifts," shares his fun and touching "attitude adjustment" for those caring for someone with Alzheimer's. While you may be shocked, depressed and overwhelmed by the changes in your loved one, and the responsibilities in caring for them, there are gifts along the way if you only know what to look for. Rick cared for his mother, who had Alzheimer's for eight and a half years. If you need to be lifted-up, then listen to what Rick has to share and help you focus on what really matters.
