PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE
By Sheryl Ashby, CEO
'HDU)ULHQGV
We at the Alzheimer’s Aid Society would like to enlist your
help. As, I am sure you are aware, there was a recession in our economy beginning in 2008. As a result, our donations dropped sharply. This change in
economy affected us all I know. As a result, the Alzheimer’s Aid Society
has had to begin doing fundraising events. We don’t get any funding from the
Federal, State or Local Government, so we depend entirely on your donations.
The following are ways that you can show your support for the Alzheimer’s Aid Society.
1. You can support our fundraising events. We host an annual Golf
Tournament each year. If you are not a golfer, join us for the dinner after and
enjoy dancing and a raffle.
2. This year (for the first time,) we are putting on a Concert to raise
money for the Society. We are hosting the production “Postmodern Jukebox”.
They will be playing at the Crest Theatre on December 10th, 2015, to raise
money for the Society. This group takes modern music and retro - spins it back
to a 1940’s style. We are excited to have this popular band in Sacramento for
our benefit. Please support this event and help the Society.
3. Of course there are always donations. You can make a donation
to the Alzheimer’s Aid Society in one of three ways: a straight donation;
a donation in memory of someone who passed away from Alzheimer’s / Dementia or a donation in honor of someone with Alzheimer’s / Dementia.
Please send your donations to P.O. Box 60095 Sacramento, CA 95860-0095.
4 <o u can donate an old car or boat. Just call the office and we will
help you with this kind of donation.
We would like to thank you ahead of time for your assistance. Your
past generosity has been greatly appreciated as well. Your help makes it possible
for us to provide many services to the Senior community. We can supply Blue
Books (or Green Books - Spanish version). This booklet is our practical guide
for the Alzheimer’s Caregiver. We also offer Support Groups. We have these
support groups from Yreka to Turlock. We are proud to announce our new
program, ‘The Alzheimer’s Café’ in Woodland and Sacramento. We are here to
support you on your journey through Alzheimer’s / Dementia. We are here to
help…(800) 540-3340 or (916) 483-2002. Please call with your questions and
concerns.

How the Invention of Alzheimer’s World
Changed My Life
By Bob DeMarco
Alzheimer’s Reading Room
my mother. A new way to communicate
with someone with dementia.
When I arrived on the scene to take care
of Dotty (my Mother) in 2003, you
would think all I had to do was use the
communications skills I had developed
over the course of my life and everything would be “Hunky-Dory.”*
As it turned out, it was more like
“Heartbreak Hotel” in the beginning.
I had a good grasp from day one that
when my mother was being mean
spirited or downright crazy that it was
the Alzheimer’s disease that was causing the problem. Her brain was sick —
broken so to speak. So I never had a
problem understanding why she was
being so difficult and challenging. In
spite of knowing and understanding this
as clear as clear can be, it was still
driving me crazy. Our daily interactions
included an enormous amount of stress
and dread even though I was trying as
hard as I could to avoid it. After about
18 months, I finally concluded that I
was going to need to stop trying to
“reason” with my mother; and that,
I needed to find a “new way” to deal
with her. I was trying to unlearn the
things that didn’t work and use the
things that did work. This didn’t work.
I had been communicating with my
mother in a certain way for my entire
life, and no matter how hard I tried I
would eventually fall back into that
pattern.
One night while working with my Da
Vinci pad, I came to an important conclusion —something had to change,
and that something was me. I would
never be able to “unlearn” my entire life.
I just couldn’t do it. I concluded I
needed to invent a brand new world, a
place that was very different from the
world I had lived my life in. I needed to
invent a new place, go in there, and start
learning from scratch how to deal with a
person suffering from Alzheimer’s disease. Don’t get me wrong, I was taking
my skill set with me, but I needed to
learn how to think, act, and communicate in a new way. In my new world, I
was going to learn how to walk backwards, turn left instead of right, and to
accept everything that was happening
as the “new normal”. I gave my new
world a name — Alzheimer’s World.
Dotty and I would live together in this
new world.
Next, I did something I could never
have expected. When I knew that I
needed to shift gears, to get into Alzheimer’s World, I started taking one
giant step to the left. In order to get to
Alzheimer’s World, I had to physically
step into Alzheimer’s World. After a
small amount of practice steps it started
to work. I would step in, shift the mental gears in my brain seamlessly, and I
learned how to communicate with someone living with Alzheimer’s disease.
I learned how to
I couldn’t unlearn what I had been
doing my entire life. Bingo! Aha. I
finally understood I needed to learn a
brand new way of communicating with
4
NO means NO. In Alzheimer’s World
NO means, I don’t have a clue what
you are talking about.
Communicate with my mother on
HER terms.
Here are the best parts.
First, instead of getting bent out of
shape when problems arose, I actually
started feeling very comfortable, very
calm.
Everything you do with a person living with Alzheimer’s has to start and
end with positive reinforcement. You
have to be actively involved with a
person suffering from Alzheimer’s in
everything they do.
Second, the same exact behaviors
that were hurting my heart, that were
driving me crazy, and that were stressing me out were now expected. I had
arrived. I finally accepted the new normal.
* Hunky-Dory: quite satisfactory.
Synonyms: agreeable, all right, copacetic, ducky, fine, good, hunky-dory, okay,
palatable.
Some of the things that Dotty did still
bothered me. But mostly they made me
laugh (happily I mean). I thought, “here
we go again”. Imagine that, laughing
instead of crying or getting all bent out
of shape.
Alzheimer’s disease affects
thinking, concentration,
memory, and judgment, and
ultimately impedes a
person’s ability
to perform
normal daily activities.
Once I learned how to live and thrive
in Alzheimer’s World, Dotty became a
nicer, kinder, gentler person. Now
don’t let me mislead you. This took a
lot of practice and hard work. Don’t
worry, you can do it quicker than I did.
You now have the benefit of my experiences here on the (Alzheimer’s Reading
Room). Once I had Dotty calmed
down and secure, and me calmed down
and confident, I learned I could accomplish much more. I mean Dotty stopped
being mean and nutty, and I stopped
feeling all stressed out.
The Alzheimer’s Aid Society
is still in need of
VOLUNTEERS.
We need volunteers
to answer phones
in the Sacramento Office.
These volunteers need to have
experience in Care-giving for a
Person with Alzheimer’s or
other Dementia.
We also need Support Group
Facilitators in Turlock.
Alzheimer’s World is a good place.
A wonderful place in fact. This is what
I learned. Once I could actually deal
with Dotty effectively, communicate, I
decided we could start attacking the big
problems. The big problems? Pee,
Poop, Shower, and a real big problem —
the word NO. As far as I can tell the
majority of Alzheimer’s patients say NO
(about 70 percent). In the real world,

We held our 12th annual golf
tournament on Friday September 11th
at Mather Golf Course this year in
memory of all of those who lost so
much in 2001. Sponsored by Norwood
Pines Alzheimer’s Care Center, this
year’s event was regaled in patriotism;
from American flags on all of the
carts; a red, white &blue bannered
BBQ dinner sponsored by Medic
Ambulance; and, an American made
Harley- Davidson on the 14th hole
courtesy of Folsom Harley-Davidson.
Kicking things off Cimino Care
offered coffee and a free continental
breakfast for all of the golfers. This
year’s big prize? $50,000 sponsored
by Justin Prillwitz (Realty One Group
Complete) for the lucky golfer who
could make a hole-in-one on the
7th! Also, up for grabs was $25,000
sponsored by Warren G. Bender
Insurance Services for a hole-in-one
at the Harley-Davidson hole (#14).
Although the hole-in-one prizes
went unclaimed this year, we had
several winners for “closest to the
pin”, “longest drive” and a putting
contest. The lowest score for a
