These poems work in response to each other, one being from the perspective of my grandmother who died from complications with Alzheimer’s in 2011 and one being from my perspective seeing her at the nursing home.

Only twice in my twenty plus years as an Alzheimer’s caregiver has a doctor ever asked whether I was doing okay. Yet my husband would have never made the clinic appointment on time if I had not gotten up extra early to bathe, dress, feed, manage his resistance and drive him there. Now here’s a chance to be heard!
Researchers from the Mayo Clinic want to learn what matters most to you when you go to the doctor with your loved one. They need volunteers for an online focus group who are current or former caregivers for a loved one with dementia.
Study participants will be asked to join an online focus group and answer several questions over a week and a half posted by the moderator. Participants can choose to remain anonymous. Their goal is to help healthcare providers better support and communicate with caregivers by learning:
How health care providers can best help caregivers provide optimal care to loved ones while maintaining their own health.
How involved caregivers want to be their loved ones’ healthcare.
Your opinions are critical to improving the experience for all caregivers when they accompany loved ones to doctor’s appointments. Let’s not miss this opportunity to make doctors tune into what matters to us.

Lori La Bey was lucky enough to meet Katy Bowman in California this summer at Maria Shriver’s “Move for Minds” Event in Orange County. She was so impressed with her work and outlook, she immediately asked Katy if she would consider being a guest on Alzheimer’s Speaks Radio. Lori wanted her to share her insights with our audience. We are thrilled she said YES!
Katy Bowman is part biomechanist, part science communicator, and full-time mover and shaker. She has educated hundreds of thousands of people on the role of “Nutritious Movement” and how it plays out in the body and in the world.
Alzheimer's Speaks believes working together and sharing knowledge is the best way to win the battle against this disease. Please explore the site and share your thoughts.
