Well, finally starting a blog as recommended by my staff on Fiduciary issues. I'll be covering medical issues related to caring for individuals with one or more of the following diagnoses: dementia, brain injury, stroke, mental health issues, aging, or injuries related to trauma. Additionally, I'll be blogging about investments, bill paying, computer programs related to both and websites/articles/books that might be of assistance to new fiduciaries/family caregivers/conservators that will assist them in caring for an individual with one or more disabilities.
To start off, for anyone caring for someone with any type of dementia (and there are more than 50+ types of dementia) one of the basic books that will aid a caregiver is "The Thirty-Six Hour Day" by Nancy L. Mace. This book covers the causes and types of dementia, intervention strategies for caring for someone with dementia and prevention of dementia, all written in layman's language. The essential guide for anyone involved with or caring for a person with dementia.
Additionally, I read articles weekly on medical issues related to the above diagnoses and will post a short synopsis of the articles and a link to the full text study.
