We love to hear how we can help create a difference in someone's day! Here's a recent example :)
"I just had a very helpful and supportive conversation with Diane Dubea, who then dropped off some books for me to read as caregiver. She also encouraged me to keep in touch and perhaps drop by as my husband and I live around the corner on Park Street. I will see how I can pull that off. Just being able to talk to someone who understands the situation is so comforting. Thank you so very much."

A truly beautiful story showing how love conquers and for one moment in time, this couple was able to put all the stress, all the unknown and the fear behind them to ....
A MUST read for anyone who is a caregiver for a loved one with Alzheimers. The author writes with compassion and gentle humor and the book is chocked full of helpful tips and suggestions. The chapters are short and easy to read for someone who is busy with caregiving.
No one can create entire days of joy for someone with Alzheimers but anyone can create MOMENTS of joy for them.
Highly recommended.
Coming Soon!
