SUMMARY:Challenges of caregiving at Senior Star
DESCRIPTION:Senior Star at Elmore Place is pleased to invite the Quad Cities community to the most important campaign of former Wisconsin Gov. Martin J. Schreiber's life.  He will be discussing the challenges of being an Alzheimer's caregiver to the community on May 2nd at 6:30 PM at 4500 Elmore Avenue\, Davenport.\n\n \n\nSchreiber will share what he has learned\, which is included in his award-winning book\, My Two Elaines: Learning\, Coping\, and Surviving as an Alzheimer's Caregiver\, so others don't experience the learning curve he did. The free presentation will include time for questions and suggestions from other caregivers.\n\n\n\nMy Two Elaines is a guide for Alzheimer's families and caregivers as well as a love story that spans more than 60 years. Schreiber's wife Elaine was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease 13 years ago and since then\, he has worked tirelessly to be a caregiver and loving spouse to someone who no longer recognizes him. He refers to the woman with whom he fell in love in high school\, married\, raised a family and ran political campaigns as his first Elaine\, and today's sweet\, sensitive woman who remembers nothing about their past as his second. He speaks about the need for caregivers to build support systems and self-care\, which are among the things he failed to do early on.\n\n \n\nLike many thrown into the heartbreaking Alzheimer's world\, Schreiber knew little about the disease. What he found most disturbing was that even healthcare providers don't know the degree to which Alzheimer's affects the person who lives with it and his or her family. "If Alzheimer's is bad\, ignorance of the disease is worse\," he said.\n\n \n\nFor more information about Senior Star at Elmore Place or to schedule a tour\, call 563.359.0100 or visit the website at www.seniorstar.com.
