We at StilMee™ Coaching have joined with My Way Village to offer in the home coaching in using a computer-based program called Connected Living Now. It is a terrific fun way to spend time with your family member with Alzheimer's or other memory disorder. Prompts in the form of pictures, utube film clips, and words evoke memories and encourage the person's sharing them with their care partner, either a family member or hired caregiver. I witnessed residents at Rogerson House in Jamaica Plain, Massachusetts 'come alive' with memories of their lives and share those with a coach. The residents are more engaged, seeking out time at the computer to enjoy sharing with another. We are piloting a program for caregivers at home and hope to launch it March 1, 2010. Write me at StilMee@comcast.net and log on to www.mywayvillage.com and check it out. This program is available at home across the United States. It is very reasonably priced; affordable for everyone.
