8. Home Safety for Alzheimer's Sufferers
March 04, 2012
When I worked as a home health aide a few years back, making a home safe for an elderly person who is frail or has mobility challenges was a fairly simple matter of taking care of things like installing hand rails, re arranging furniture and removing other obstacles from the home.

9. Evaluating a Geriatric Care Manager
January 25, 2012
Unfortunately there is no easy way to know in advance if the geriatric care manager you work with will be the right one for you.
