This year why not get someone a holiday gift with a little more meaning behind it? The Alzheimer’s Foundation of America eStore is a great place to do just that very thing this holiday season. When you make a purchase from the eStore, all of the proceeds benefit the Alzheimer’s Foundation of America. The eStore has some lovely jewelery offerings as well as a four part DVD training program, & you can even shop the quilt store to purchase a quilt with the AFA Quilt to Remember logo. I can think of more than a few people who would appreciate getting something from this very special eStore this year.
The holidays are the perfect time to purchase a holiday gift from eStore or a donation is someone’s name because making sure those who are effected by this tragic disease aren’t overlooked during the busy holidays & that they receive good care is imperative.

For those who are touched by Alzheimer’s, whether they themselves have it or a loved one, making sure that the effected person is getting the right care for them is of utmost importance. Just because one has this disease does not make them less entitled to have an excellent quality of life. I know I want no less for my loved ones! The AFA has a new program where care centers can get the “Excellence in Care” status to show that they can provide the highest care standards for those suffering from dementia as well as serving as a resource for caregivers looking for the best placement options for their effected loved one.

My maternal grandfather suffers from severe dementia & his condition worsens each & every day. There are many times when my family is fearful for his or my grandmother’s well being, which is frightening. I hope every day of my life that the AFA is able to find more answers & eventually a cure to this terrible disease.
