Betsy Pegelow, RN, MSN, director of the Channeling Program, an Alzheimer’s caregiver support program of the Miami Jewish Home and Hospital for the Aged, recommends an Alzheimer’s resource now available through the Alzheimer’s Association’s public policy division in Washington, DC. Resources for Serving Care givers in Culturally Diverse Communities: A Compendium of Products Developed through the HRSA-AOA Alzheimer’s Demonstration Grant to States Project sells for $12.
The resource lists Alzheimer’s-specific community resources with an emphasis on respite services and other caregiver support programs. It includes information on handbooks, manuals, pamphlets, videos, and other training materials. Pegelow notes that most local chapters of the Alzheimer’s Association also can provide training for caregivers, staff, and aides. To order, contact the Alzheimer’s Association, Public Policy Division, 1319 F St., N.W., Washington, DC 20004. Tele phone: (202) 393-7737.
