Welcome Friends!

Hi, my name is Kristie. I’m a full-time caregiver to my beautiful mother-in-love, aka Memom, who was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. 

When I first started staying with Memom, I researched everything Alzheimer’s; I read any book I could get my hands on, visited friends with parents who had similar conditions, sought out caregivers in “memory care” facilities, and turned to the internet. Most results were more “about” the disease than real-life application.

Overwhelmed and frustrated, I decided to share some of my tidbits and suggestions through a blog. After all, our story often becomes someone else’s survival guide.

With that said, I am not a medical professional, nor anything certified in Alzheimer’s. The stories and ideas I share are things we’ve tried and believe are valuable to our journey of loving and caring for Memom.
