Preserving Your Memory Magazine -
Saving Time, Savoring Fall


Preserving Your Memory MagazineFor many people, fall is a favorite time of year. The weather turns cooler, but it’s still not too cold to enjoy the outdoors. The harvest of summer gardens wraps up, while winter gardens are planted.

In this issue of Preserving Your Memory, we look at ways to save time while providing care to your loved ones—and to yourself. Learn how to make the decisions about providing in-home care for a loved one (page 8). Find out how to identify a victim of elder abuse, and how to recognize the signs of stress in caregiving (p. 14).

In our cover story, journalist Mary Ellen Geist explains how she decided to redeem her time. She left a successful career in news broadcasting to become a caregiver for her father in his time of need, and what she is still learning from that process (page 18).

You can learn to save time in the kitchen, too, by trying out recipes from Joyce Chen’s famous Chinese cookbook, as graciously shared by her son and former caregiver, Stephen (page 23). And we have some great ideas for getting the physical activity you need in only a few minutes, courtesy of our Fitness department (page 30). Enjoy the transition of fall, and be sure to let this issue of Preserving Your Memory guide you in making the most of every moment.

Testimonial:

My wife has moderate Alzheimer's disease.

Recently I carried her to her doctor for a matter unrelated to Alzheimer's.  While waiting in the waiting room I saw a copy of your magazine.  I read several articles and I came to the conclusion that as my wife's caregiver, I need your magazine.

From what I have read in your magazine, I am full of hope that a cure will be found.  I pray all the time that this will be so.

God bless you and your organization,
Francis Houston
-Senior Judge, Georgia Courts
