We created the Care Card to help care providers understand the unique needs and preferences of their clients or residents when they first meet them, and as they evolve.

Today I ran across some words my mother wrote in 2004: the last paragraph of the Christmas letter from that year, signed off as always with words of love and encouragement from Molly. The last thought is particularly profound as it was written by someone who would lose her life to Alzheimer's disease: "....write what you remember---before you forget".

My sister sent me this video on empathy over the weekend.  It's one of those rare things that speaks for itself and needs no comment from me.  Whether you're a caregiver or not, I promise it will improve your day.
