Jo's Story - Who Is Caring? (Paperback)

When Jo Hoyt Freeman was diagnosed with benign memory loss in 2001, she and her husband Claude were faced with an uncertain future. Jo wanted others to understand her journey: "If you have a memory loss...maybe you can listen to my story, and it would make a difference It isn't a fairy tale nor is it a dream, it's a story about a girl who had a very strange experience...I want to be one of those good citizens who want to improve your and my lives by helping. One step at a time...reasons to help people...maybe by understanding my feelings and how I feel will make a difference..." "Jo's Story" is a primer, an elementary textbook, about a lovely, enthusiastic, bright, stimulating person who became aware of a change in her being, originally diagnosed as a benign memory loss and later Alzheimer's Disease. This primer, a real elementary, factual textbook will be helpful to families coping with the day-to-day issues presented by dementia and Alzheimer's, and to skilled care workers, some of whom publicly have made it known they need and want more education and training on how to provide care and support to those with dementia and their families. "Jo's Story: Who Is Caring?" could be used for a number of years to educate and train persons who now, and will in the future, in their individual practice of medicine endeavor to accurately diagnose and provide care to persons whose change in being is caused by an Alzheimer's/dementia disease. How does a caregiver find the key to unlock stored memories in the brain of an Alzheimer's/dementia diseased person, which activities once brought about in that person true pleasure? Read "Jo's Story."
