This Season, Be a Caregiver to a Caregiver
by Susan McCorkindale, Huffington Post

"When my husband first got sick, a very dear friend told me that caregiving isn't a race. It's a marathon. And the only way caregivers make it to the finish line is with the support of family, friends and sometimes, total strangers. At this season of giving, consider a gift of caring for a caregiver. Make a meal. Shovel the walk. Cover for a few hours so the caregiver can do... whatever he or she wants to do."

How Companies Are Making Work-Life Balance Better for Caregivers
Article by Kimberly Palmer, US News & World Report

"What caregivers really want, experts say, is more options for managing their time and greater flexibility – especially when it comes to caring for loved ones without using vacation days. “They want more understanding of their situation from management,” said Kenneth Matos, senior director of research at the Families and Work Institute, at the November Gerontological Society of America conference in the District of Columbia. 

At the conference, Matos also emphasized that companies, too, can benefit from helping caregiving employees navigate work-life balance. Elder-care crises alone cost employers of “full-time, intense caregivers” about $1.6 billion each year in lost productivity, he said.
"

The article lists some ways companies are assisting their caregiving employees – and in turn, making it easier for them to remain productive.

By Jake Whitman and Cynthia McFadden

Learn about Glen Campbell's new movie that tells of his experience with Alzheimer's disease.
 
"Campbell’s wife hopes the film will encourage more federal spending on research.

“If it doesn’t affect your family now, it will in the future,” Woolen says.

After 50 years in the business and 50 million records sold, Glen Campbell's most enduring legacy may be the courage he's demonstrating by letting the world see what it is to live with Alzheimer's disease."
