Annual Report - Alzheimer`s Association
2012 Annual Report Living with Alzheimer’s Our vision is a world without Alzheimer’s. Dear Friends, This past year has been an extraordinary one for the Alzheimer’s Association, Massachusetts/New Hampshire Chapter. We invite you to learn more about the highlights and to meet the families we have profiled. You’ll read about the New Hampshire family grappling with the changes in all their lives and the extended, expansive family in Springfield who is still fighting the disease even after losing their beloved father. You will also meet a man mourning, and celebrating, his wife of many years and a woman who memorialized her husband. Alzheimer’s is intensely personal, as well as a national challenge of almost epidemic proportion. It is for these reasons that we are accelerating our work. We are committed to helping families live successfully with Alzheimer’s while we marshal all possible public and private resources to achieve our vision of a world without Alzheimer’s. Here are some of the highlights of the tremendous progress we have made in the five elements of our strategic plan. n n n n n Increasing Concern and Awareness: We know we need to engage more Americans in this cause. We have seen increased media coverage of our cause, including a groundbreaking Boston Globe series and multi-part WBUR Public radio series. We also engaged a number of local and national companies such as: TJX, Dunkin’ Donuts, Rapid Refill and others in cause-marketing relationships. Advancing Public Policy: The hard work and dedication of our volunteer advocates in New Hampshire and Massachusetts contributed to our nation’s first Alzheimer’s plan. We secured a Massachusetts state Alzheimer’s plan as well and began work on a similar New Hampshire plan. We saw legislation signed into law in Massachusetts to create nursing home standards for dementia care, advancing the consistency of quality care. Enhancing Care and Support: We met a clearly growing need, responding to 21% more 24/7 Helpline calls. We also launched an innovative program with Tufts Health Plan to reach out to their Medicare beneficiaries with Alzheimer’s and we are poised to launch a similar initiative with three Boston teaching hospitals. Accelerating Research: We continue to serve as the global leader in research, funding cutting edge programs and annually convening the world’s top researchers at the Alzheimer’s Association International Conference. Locally, we coordinated closely with our talented and dedicated research community and worked to educate our constituents about the latest advances in the field. Growing Revenue: With your help, we had a strong fundraising year, enabling us to expand our support for families and simultaneously increase our investments in research. Thousands of you supported our efforts at the Walk to End Alzheimer’s® ; terrific athletes ran, swam or rode bikes to support the cause; and thousands more gave generously of their time and treasure. We are committed to our vision of a world without Alzheimer’s. We thank you for helping bring us several steps closer to this goal.

On these pages, you can read about some of the highlights of our past year. The numbers cannot show the tremendous depth of relationships that occurs as our staff interacts with those whom we serve. We hope that the profiles in this report provide a sense of the true emotion of our work. All that we do is made possible by our donors and supporters. Our initiatives can be captured in three most essential efforts: Care, Cause and Cure. In order to meet the growing need for Alzheimer programs, services and research, the Alzheimer’s Association, MA/NH Chapter has continued to grow. In May of this year, we moved to new headquarters—still in Watertown, Massachusetts—providing increased space for staff, volunteers and special events. We celebrated our move with a festive Open House attended by more than 200 people in June. If you have not yet visited us, please do stop by during 9-5 office hours at 480 Pleasant Street, Watertown, MA. We encourage you to learn more about our ongoing and new programs by visiting us at www.alz.org/MANH. 4 | Highlights Care n n n n n 24/7 Helpline: We responded to more than 10,250 calls, providing information, support and guidance to individuals, family members and professional caregivers. We also offer Helpline online to increase accessibility for those who prefer to interact via the internet. Care Consultation: Our individualized counseling program provided more than 1,200 consultations at no charge. Through Care Consultation sessions we provide in-depth assistance to families. We utilize phone conferencing and e-mail contact, when appropriate, to make it possible for those at a distance to be involved in family discussions. n n Programs for Individuals, Families and the Community: We reached 9,750 people with support, information and education at community events and programs. We offered The Essential Skills education series for family caregivers with topical programs on specific challenges families often face: It Starts with Communication, Understanding Behavior and Safety at Home. Programs for Professionals: More than 3,600 professionals participated in 130 of our workshops, programs or conferences. Along with another successful Map Through the Maze conference, we launched our newly updated Habilitation curriculum, “Caring for People with Alzheimer’s Disease.” Since its launch, we have trained more than 300 professionals to teach hands-on caregivers the most effective dementia care strategies. Special Publications: With support from the Massachusetts Executive Office of Elder Affairs (EOEA), we published an Early Stage Guide for families, updated our popular Family Care Guide, and reprinted our Later Stage Guide, creating a coordinated series to help families navigate all stages of this disease. n n Support Groups: We increased our support group capacity by more than 40 percent by offering trainings for volunteer group leaders. In response to the growing demand for increased support to those with younger-onset Alzheimer’s (a more rare variation, occurring before age 65), we offered new support groups for those affected and increased activity with the Children of Younger-Onset Dementia (COYOD) program. We also created a support group to assist family members of veterans in western Massachusetts through the Soldier’s Home. New Alliances: We implemented a new alliance with Tufts Health Plan, providing counseling and support for their Medicare Advantage HMO members who have Alzheimer’s. We partnered with the Soldier’s Home in Holyoke, MA to provide counseling and service referrals for veterans and family members. We also presented workplace education programs through our Alzheimer Early Detection Alliance (AEDA), a collaborative relationship with employers, at TJX Corporation, State Street Corporation, Tufts Health Plan, Sun Life and EMC, among others. Overall, 49 firms have joined AEDA. Innovation Grant: We launched a 3-year initiative, with funding from the Eisenberg Family Trust, to directly link patients of three Boston medical centers with our Alzheimer’s counseling and support services. Medical Liaison: Outreach to physicians is a crucial building block as we seek to improve the rate of diagnosis of Alzheimer’s from its current low of 50 percent. We reached out to the medical community with presentations at major conferences, including co-sponsorship of the Harvard University Dementia Conference. Highlights | 5 Cause n n Legislative Initiatives: Governor Deval Patrick signed into law our Dementia Special Care Unit bill, putting in motion dementia specific regulations for nursing homes in Massachusetts. This landmark legislation was the result of dedicated work by our grassroots advocates as well as the championing by key elected officials. Governor Patrick also accepted the Alzheimer’s State Plan which we coauthored with the Executive Office of Elder Affairs. The Plan creates a framework for coordination and improvement of Alzheimer specific services across the Commonwealth. We also began laying the groundwork for a similar initiative in New Hampshire. Advocates in Action: Our Massachusetts Alzheimer’s Advocacy Action Day at the state house in Boston galvanized advocates, resulting in the passage of our legislation to establish quality of care requirements for dementia special care units in Massachusetts nursing homes. Advocates from New Hampshire and Massachusetts also travelled to Washington, D.C. to meet with their elected officials and other advocates at the annual Public Policy Summit. Nationally, our advocates were key in securing increased Alzheimer’s research funding at the National Institutes of Health, with additional funding for caregiver support—at the direction of President Barack Obama in January. Governor Patrick signed the Act Providing for Dementia-Specific Training for Employees of Long-Term Care Facilities--a bill which we proposed and championed to protect those who are in nursing homes and provide increased peace of mind to their families. The signing was a proud day for our advocates who worked hard to achieve passage. On hand were (l.-r.)

The Walk to End Alzheimer’s is the nation’s largest public awareness and fundraising effort. We raised more than $2.3 million at walks across Massachusetts and New Hampshire, to support research, education and care programs. 6 | Highlights ® n Media: Our work with WBUR public radio resulted in a 13-part NPR series, “Fade to Darkness,” chronicling the impact of Alzheimer’s and earning a New England Healthcare Communicators award. Our work with The Boston Globe brought to light the overuse and abuse of antipsychotic medications in nursing homes in a hardhitting series. Overall, we saw a total of more than 101 million media impressions, telling the Alzheimer story in Massachusetts and New Hampshire. AlzTogether: Our young professionals group, AlzTogether expanded its membership and sponsored a series of fundraising and networking events throughout the year including hosting a “Night of Light” at the Prudential Tower as the top of the tower was lit purple for our cause. Purple with a Purpose Public Awareness: For World Alzheimer’s Day 2011, we teamed up once more with Dunkin’ Donuts. More than 1,000 Dunkin’ stores in eastern Massachusetts and southern New Hampshire offered a special purple-sprinkled donut to raise money and awareness. n n n One Thing video: Our all-volunteer communications taskforce took the lead in creating a video designed to reach and engage those of younger generations affected by Alzheimer’s—adult children and grandchildren. The result was “One Thing,” asking people on the street “What’s one thing you never want to forget?” The video has struck a chord and is accumulating thousands of views on YouTube and connecting people to the cause and the Alzheimer’s Association. The moving Remembrance Ceremony at the Walk to End Alzheimer’s unifies us and strengthens our resolve to end Alzheimer’s. (Photo by Rene Tirado) Food for Thought: Top Boston-area chefs joined together to raise funds and awareness. Ten chefs participated in a photo/video shoot, with the resulting images used in social media to promote a week-long program at their restaurants when they would offer a special appetizer and donate 100% of the proceeds to the cause. Cause Marketing: As we seek to engage a broader audience and raise awareness of the need for increased research funding, we are expanding our cause marketing initiatives. In the past year, we launched a donation program with Rapid Refill service stations in eastern Massachusetts and also joined with a micro-brewery, White Birch Beer, in New Hampshire for a time-limited special brew called “Unforgettable” that generated a donation to our Memory Ride for Research program. Highlights | 7 Cure n n 2011 Research Grants. Six Massachusetts scientists shared part of the $13 million in Alzheimer’s Association grants for their innovative projects. Three of the grantees received the New Investigator Research Grants. The Alzheimer’s Association is the largest non-profit funder of research into causes and treatments, and someday a cure. 2011 Memory Ride for Research. Our premier cycling event, raising money for research, grew exponentially in 2011 as FOX25 TV became a media sponsor and produced and aired more than 100 free promotional spots. More than 400 cyclists wound their way over a 100 mile course, bringing the total raised by the Ride since its inception to more than $2.75 million for research. The Alzheimer’s Association Massachusetts research award grantees gathered for our annual Research Forum to discuss the innovative work that they are pursuing. Pictured (l.-r.) Drs.

More than 300 people attended our premier scientific presentation on “Genes & Alzheimer’s Disease: Lessons in Moving the Mountain into the Lab,” by Dr. Gerard D. Schellenberg, founder and head of the national Alzheimer’s Disease Genetics Consortium. On the Cutting Edge of Alzheimer’s Research: Our annual research review presentation was attended by more than 380 people who came to hear from the Alzheimer’s Association’s 2011 national research grantees from Massachusetts. The panel discussion was moderated by Robert Stern, PhD. of the Boston University Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center. 8 | Highlights n n Dementia: A Comprehensive Update: The Chapter was once again the official co-sponsor of the Harvard Medical School’s major annual dementia conference; Chapter staff presented in a plenary session to more than 250 physicians. PriMed National Conference: We collaborated with our national office to staff one of the largest events in the country for primary care physicians, directly interacting with 400 clinicians. Alzheimer’s Association International Conference: We began planning with our national office for the Alzheimer’s Association International Conference, to be held in Boston in July of 2013. The honor of being host city to our international conference which draws thousands of the best and brightest researchers in the world also creates opportunities to broaden the research discussion for those we serve.

The balance was evident in their sailing, skiing and ice skating. They had parallel careers at Harvard—he as an electronic engineer first at the Cambridge Electronic Accelerator, and later, director of computer services at the Faculty of Arts and Sciences. Margaret conducted research for 17 years and went on to serve as registrar for the Faculty of Arts and Sciences and later, director of the Physics Department. Altogether, she had a 41 year career; he, 31 years. Lew’s career, by all rights, should have lasted as long as Margaret’s, since he was just two years her senior. However, at age 58 he began experiencing memory problems. We thank those who opened their homes to us so that the story of Alzheimer’s could be told. “He had trouble communicating. Basically, he couldn’t handle his job,” said Margaret Law as she looked back on the years that led up to Alzheimer’s. “The main problem was depression because he knew what was happening.” By 60, he retired. Profiles by Betsy Fitzgerald-Campbell Photography by Shannon Power Both born in Birmingham, England, Margaret and Lew met at a local church youth group, playing table tennis. She was 14; he was 16. After university, they came across the Big Pond, living first in Canada then on to Cambridge and positions at Harvard. 10 | Margaret Law “It was the thing to do post-doc. Everyone came for two years to the U.S.” Margaret said of the beginning of their journey that would take them from life in post-war Britain eventually to their home in Arlington. “We never planned to stay.” That was 53 years ago. Lew was the one who discovered their home with a generous backyard sloping down to the shore of Mystic Lake. They sailed and raced in Neither wanted to wait—since they saw the need for more research, more support for families like them. regattas competitively on the lake. Margaret would take a morning swim each day before work. They also kept a boat in the Virgin Islands for sailing. When Margaret talks about their lives, the extent of the balance they found in work and leisure, and each other, is evident. Lew was never formally diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. He knew it when it arrived. His mother, a grandmother, and a sister all had dementia. Ever the scientist, he wanted more information about the disease that had intruded on his life. “Someone recommended the Alzheimer’s Association. Lew found a support group and the first year he went on his own,” Margaret said. It was not long before she followed. They became involved in Association events, him speaking publically about the disease. They Margaret Law | 11 She also found friends—friends that she still meets with monthly for lunch. 12 | Margaret Law attended the Alzheimer’s Association national public policy forum in Washington, D.C. and met with elected officials to ask for more Alzheimer research funding. “He really felt useful, and being involved with activities helped him a lot,” said Margaret. She also found friends—friends that she still meets with monthly for lunch. “Just being able to talk about it and get it off your chest with people in the same situation was so helpful.” As the disease progressed, Lew continued to find ways to remain active, though he was retired. He worked on a newsletter for the Harvard Retirees Association until managing the technical aspects became too challenging. They could no longer safely sail—he had been the skipper and she crewed—so they took to big boats with cruises in Alaska, Panama, Costa Rica, Mexico and the Columbia River. When his balance meant he could no longer ride a bicycle, they got him a large trike which he rode until that also became a safety issue. He could no longer ski. His life began to close in, but he kept a spirit of discovery. When they learned about the Rogerson House day program through the support group, Lew was quick to suggest he attend. He continued for nearly four years. Margaret got by as full-time caregiver with some outside help, until she became ill and required a week in the hospital. Through her support group, a nursing home placement was found for Lew. He stayed on after she returned home, making a natural transition to a care setting. “I was lucky that way,” she said. “It just happened and wasn’t a big decision.” anniversary that they celebrated at the nursing home shows her in a white dress, him in a wheelchair. “I had brought the dress and went and changed. When I came out, I found the staff had decorated tables and set out refreshments. And Lew had the most wonderful smile when he saw me.” The end came for him at 78, twenty years after the memory problems first plagued him. Margaret lost the boy she met at a teen dance— the man who became her partner in sailing, ice dancing, work, life. The year before he died, she looked for a way to bring the balance back into her own life. She had stopped ice skating after a fall that resulted in cracked vertebrae. At 75, she called a local Fred Astair Dance Studio and signed up for lessons. She dances five days a week and travels around the country competing against other studios. Her favorite dance is the quickstep; Dancing With the Stars is one of her favorite shows on television. Hanging on the back of her bedroom closet door is a sleek red dress sporting a delicate flounce and adorned with crystal cabochons and sequins. “I can’t resist buying new dresses for the competitions,” she said. “It’s given me a new life.” Before Lew died, they decided together that they wanted to make a significant gift to the Alzheimer’s Association. Neither wanted to wait—since they saw the need for more research, more support for families like them. She began the first of four contributions while Lew was still alive. The decision seemed as natural as the pose she strikes in a photograph taken at a recent competition. In the Law’s partnership and marriage, they found the balance; they found what was right for them. n Lew spent his last years in a nursing home.

Reisman Hometown: Lexington, MA Member of the Founders Society Elaine and Bernard (Bernie) Reisman were regulars at Alzheimer’s Association events and programs of all kinds. They believed in being involved. Bernie was the founding director of the Hearthstein Program for Jewish Community Service at Brandeis University. Elaine taught early childhood education at Leslie College until 2000. In 1995, Bernie was showing signs of forgetfulness; five years later he retired from Brandeis. Their doctors assured them they were doing everything right—Bernie stayed involved in activities. They also discovered the Alzheimer’s Association. With support and care consultation sessions with Manager of Care Consultation Susan Rowlett, they found an assisted living program when he needed increased care and later, placement at the VA. “We knew we wanted to leave money to the Alzheimer’s Association because we were both very grateful for what the Association had done. Not only was there support, they opened up the chance for us to become advocates for the cause on a national level,” Elaine said. Bernie and Elaine attended the national Public Policy Forum to advocate for increased federal research funding. In that spirit of gratitude, Elaine became a member of the Founders Society. In 2011, Elaine and Bernie celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary and shortly after, he lost his long battle with Alzheimer’s disease. 24 | Founders Society Founders Society The Founders Society is an honorary society created by the Alzheimer’s Association to recognize and thank those who make a bequest or lifetime gift.

Umansky Richard Veronesi Founders Society | 25 Life is in the Details Brenda and Ken Bouchard celebrated their 25th wedding anniversary on Valentine’s Day 2012. They met through a mutual friend. Brenda, a court reporter, fell for Ken, a successful trial lawyer and general litigator in New Hampshire. He brought three children to the relationship; together they had their daughter Briana. They’re living in their dream house in rural New Hampshire, designed by Ken to be environmentally friendly with solar panels and a geothermal system. Southern exposure with French doors and arched windows cascades sunlight into the cathedral-ceilinged living room. Ken cleared Brenda and Ken Bouchard 26 | Brenda & Ken Bouchard the sloping pastureland in front of the house for a view that allows them to watch does and fawns frolic in the early morning. Life is in the details; and the details are now complicated. Two years ago at age 64, Ken was diagnosed with younger-onset Alzheimer’s disease with Lewy Body variable. He and Brenda knew there was a risk since his mother was one of 10 children, of which 8 are believed to have had Alzheimer’s. Ken is one of five children; a brother has already died with younger-onset Alzheimer’s. “Ken was a very active man, a senior partner, who organized the practice, spent time with our four children, including soccer and all that kind of thing,” said Brenda. “We shared the marriage 50-50. There is so much heartache watching your spouse’s life cut short after having lived a good and hardworking life,” she said. Ken, the trial lawyer, has fewer words these days though when he does answer, some of the courtroom intensity is still there in his eyes. When asked how he felt about the diagnosis: “It’s very strange, but it didn’t bother me very much.” “Ken turned from having memory issues to not being able to connect ideas sequentially,” said Brenda. “We saw our PC who sent us to MGH (Massachusetts General Hospital) neurology department.” It took five months to get an appointment with Dr. Mark Albers at MGH. Ken underwent an MRI and spinal tap. “I worry about how people are financially coping. The cost is enormous, the worry and fear is tremendous.” “Prior to the diagnosis, when we knew what was happening—to know you’re losing the love of each other’s life—it was hard,” said Brenda. The news was difficult for the children as well. “There was denial, dysfunction, fear—we had really all of them.” Briana, a teenager at the time, is now in college. “Looking back we were less surprised than some people,” Briana said. She finds it difficult to share with peers. “People have no idea how to respond to him, or us.” Ken retired from his law practice and his world became the beautiful home in the rolling New Hampshire countryside. The family “hit the Brenda & Ken Bouchard | 27 28 | Brenda & Ken Bouchard floor running,” Brenda said, putting in place the legal and financial details in their lives so that they would be ready for what lay ahead. However, a trip to the hospital for back surgery that Ken required turned their lives upside down, again. Like many others, Ken experienced a significant change due to the anesthesia. “The day before he went in, he was driving the car. He came out two and a half weeks later and literally did not know what his toothbrush was for,” said Brenda. Beyond that, he experienced hallucinations and mild paranoia, though he was only on a narcotic painkiller for 24 hours. During the recovery, he was in and out of rehab twice. “We felt as though we were catapulted years ahead in the disease, overnight. It was an enormous change that we weren’t set up for nor were we prepared for. It was a crisis, but I just had to keep going and had to keep us all upbeat.” At 54, Brenda had become a caregiver for her husband. Briana took steps that ultimately helped the family prepare emotionally for the road ahead. She had taken an internship at a company that sponsored a team in the Walk to End Alzheimer’s. She asked her mother to join her. “I did not want to do it. I wanted to deal with this on my own.” Brenda smiled at her daughter. “I knew there was a method to her plan because every booth we walked by, she picked up pamphlets.” The Walk to End Alzheimer’s was a turning point for Brenda. “I got to hold the caregiver flower for the promise garden. It was like the scarlet letter. I did not want it.” Despite her resistance, she realized that their family was part of a bigger community. “It’s not only me.” Brenda then made the call that made a difference. She called the Alzheimer’s Association and scheduled a free care consultation with Ronda Randazzo, care consultant. What followed was help and connection. She took part in a telephone-based early-stage support group—she did not have to leave Ken alone to attend. In the Children of Younger-Onset Dementia support group, Briana found peers who understood her. “People get so caught up in the disease, but don’t make plans for themselves—I wasn’t making plans for myself,” Brenda said. “I knew he’d get the care he needed. I was worried about her,” Briana said. “Sometimes when the diagnosis occurs, people leave you,” said Brenda. She counted their family as lucky to have an “awesome threesome” – Ken; her 86-year-old mother, Cecile Balevre who has lived with them for the past 17 years; and her sister Sally who is a regular companion for both Ken and Cecile. Ken spends his days now in the company of Tom Murdoch, a professional companion the family found through the help of the New Hampshire Office of the Alzheimer’s Association. Tom makes it possible for Ken to spend time outside, working in the garden and on the grounds around the house. Ken is able to “get a good kind of tired from being outside,” according to Brenda. “I worry about how people are financially coping. The cost is enormous, the worry and fear is tremendous. After being emotionally and physically exhausted and devastated by this disease, to know you have to soldier on to be able to maintain a roof over your head, maintain health insurance and think about saving for your own future is overwhelming and another enormous burden and stress that younger-onset caregivers are faced with.” And the challenges will continue. Looking out on their cleared acres ringed by still more acres of forest, the worry of wandering is one that must be faced. Brenda has looked into Lo-Jack— it’s not available where they live—and met with local police. “We made the decision that we are staying here. He loves it and it enhances his quality of life.” n Brenda & Ken Bouchard | 29 Institutional Support Adecco Staffing AgeQuest, LLC Allegro MicroSystems, Inc.

Windstream Communications Winner’s Circle Running Club Institutional Support | 31 Sharing Trust H. Douglas Barnshaw, MD Sympathy cards ringed the dining room, atop sideboards and tables. Libby (Elizabeth) Barnshaw’s battle with frontotemporal dementia (FTD) had ended just days before. When Doug Barnshaw had agreed to talk about their experience, his wife was still in the later stages of the disease. They had met in high school but connected again at the University of Pennsylvania—he in med school, she in nursing. “One of our first dates was after I got my pilot’s license. I took her for a flight, wondering how would the relationship go? Would she trust me?” said Doug. Apparently, that date was not the decision-maker because they dated, broke up and got together again. In the end, trust was what they had. After med and nursing school, Doug and Libby moved to Billings, Colorado where she worked at Planned Parenthood. He worked at a community mental health program. When they returned east 10 years later, she switched careers and became certified as a math teacher. 32 | Douglas Barnshaw “She liked me being there. She became very non-verbal but she liked my attention and I was glad I could give her that.“ Growing up, Libby would follow her father, who was an engineer, around the house, learning how to do things. She brought that same curiosity and the skills she learned to her adult life. She renovated a vacation cabin outside Bennington, Vermont that was “her little slice of heaven.” She supervised contractors there and designed unique built-in furniture. Doug called it part of her legacy. She was a doer by temperament. Her last big project was the house that Doug now lives in alone. Her personality radiates from every corner. They bought the house in 2000. Set in a residential neighborhood not far from downtown Springfield, this was to be her dream house. She set to work choosing contractors, selecting vintage wallpaper and paints, creating a perfectly laid out kitchen with custom designed cabinets. The quilts she loved to make are displayed around the house, mixing in with art from their stay in the Southwest. “Her self-sufficiency was very important to her. Her maiden name was Wright,” Doug smiled. “That sums it up.” Douglas Barnshaw | 33 A psychiatrist, now retired, Doug kept notes when he started noticing Libby’s decline. In 2005, she began having memory problems and repeating things, he said. Libby was 68. After the memory problems began, Libby had a CT scan and blood tests done when they consulted a neurologist. “Based on her symptoms, the doctor diagnosed FTD,” Doug said. “She had it for 7 years, but she never recognized it,” he said. A woman both active and engaged in life, she faded out of social things she had loved. In addition to the quilting, she was an avid bridge player and worked Sudoku puzzles. She was involved with Doug at a local Unitarian church, where the assembly hall is decorated with her quilts. She was the family’s domestic engineer, allowing Doug to help if he “didn’t interfere too much.” However, Libby focused on what she thought was a bladder infection. She had an operation to deal with the increasing bladder problems; she became semi-delusional after the surgery. It is not uncommon for those with Alzheimer’s or other dementias to experience an escalation of symptoms after undergoing anesthesia. The self-sufficiency that had served her so well throughout her life as a homemaker, teacher, and mother of their two children became a challenge. Doug turned to the Springfield office of the Alzheimer’s Association for information and support. When he tried to line up help he ran into resistance from Libby. “She didn’t want a homemaker. She only went one or two times to daycare. I found another one, run by a religious order with beautiful grounds—she didn’t like it,” Doug said. Libby’s anxiety increased. 34 | Douglas Barnshaw As Doug described the decline, his own emotions around the memories surfaced as tears. “I would go out to get the groceries and she’d greet me with a bundle of clothes. When I returned, she’d say we were being evicted by the owners.” The dream house was no longer her house. Doug found that if he took her for a ride in the car, she would eventually settle down. “We took a lot of rides.” He had been going regularly to his Alzheimer support group and realized from the discussions that it was important to keep himself healthy. The statistics on caregiver decline are wellestablished. It is not uncommon for a caregiver to predecease a spouse with Alzheimer’s. In 2010, he had her admitted for what was to be a twoweek stay so he could have a break. Impressed by the facility and the dementia services, he decided it was a good permanent placement for her. As he dealt with the changes in their lives, he became more involved in the Alzheimer cause. In the spring of 2012, he attended the Alzheimer’s Association national public policy forum and advocated for increased research funding. He attended the Walk to End Alzheimer’s to raise money and public awareness. Meanwhile, Doug continued to rely on both the Association support group and a group for family members at the assisted living facility. He had already put in place all the legal and financial details of their lives. “You need both the expertise for the nuts and bolts of making decisions as well as the sharing with other people going through something similar,” Doug said. Some of his decisions were based on understanding Libby. “No feeding tubes, because she liked to eat.” And it helped that the full family—their children and Libby’s brother—were in agreement. Doug visited her every day as part of his regular routine. “She liked me being there. She became very non-verbal but she liked my attention and I was glad I could give her that. I could still take her on rides.” He paused. “Looking back… She didn’t call me Doug.” “At the beginning she said take me home but she didn’t persist. There was just one time when she said I couldn’t do this without you.” On the Wednesday before she died, the nurses had Libby up and out of bed. He had brought her a rose from the carefully tended garden in back of their house. “I rubbed one foot, then she put up the other foot to be rubbed,” he said. In that simple gesture, he felt their connection. And true to herself, she was still directing things in their life. n Douglas Barnshaw | 35 Memorial Tributes Howard Aanenson Sophie Aaroian Harriette Abbott Robert F.

Zurkowski Craig V. Zwillman Sophie E. Zyskowski Memorial Tributes | 49 It Takes a Team Santiago Family The Santiago sisters did not sit by and watch Confesor, their father, descend into Alzheimer’s. They came together as a team. And as a team they are fighting back against the disease. They have recruited 35 members for Nuestro Pueblito (Our Little Town), their family Walk to End Alzheimer’s team. They organize a small festival with a tag sale and Puerto Rican foods that their mother Monserate Rodriquez helps make. This year, they added a Zumbathon. Visiting at the home of Mary Irizarry, a granddaughter of the family, it’s easy to see that bonding is what comes naturally. A kitchen island has been laid out with snacks for the interview team, including Surullitos de Maiz, a homemade family favorite—a type of cornmeal stick with a tomato dipping sauce. Mary’s husband scoots quickly through at one point. Caregiving, and talking about it, is a women’s world. Fortunately for Confesor, Papi, he had five daughters plus a son. The women sat close together on the couch—Maria, Ramona, Carmen, Martina and Juana—flanking their mother. Mary translated questions and responses—but as each woman spoke, the others nodded in agreement. They had come through the experience, perhaps even closer than when they began. This interview was conducted largely in English to Spanish translation and with all members of the family speaking, therefore attribution is not given to a single speaker, but to the family as a whole. “We do everything together,” they said. The family moved to the U.S. from Puerto Rico in 1984. Two years later, they began to notice that Papi was doing things out of the ordinary. “If the TV was on, he wouldn’t change channels. He was afraid of pictures on the wall. He became paranoid. He wouldn’t make plans, nor would he stay alone.” He was no longer the hardworking man they had known. He no longer tended the garden and yard. He no longer babysat his grandchildren, of which there are 14 plus 4 great-grandchildren. In 2007, things became worse. An MRI scan confirmed Alzheimer’s. Then 84—Monserate is 20 years younger than him—he required 50 | Santiago Family …as each woman spoke, the others nodded in agreement. They had come through the experience, perhaps even closer than when they began. Santiago Family | 51 52 | Santiago Family constant watching. That’s when the team began. It was difficult for them to see him upset; there were nights when he didn’t sleep. “He gave up.” A priest from the Church of the Holy Sacrament would come to their home and give communion and lead them in prayer groups. “Papi said the nuns would come and visit, but there were no nuns.” The daughters rotated shifts and took care of him. Though they did not find services at the Alzheimer’s Association—at the time Spanish language support groups were not offered—they did rely on his doctors. “Our experience with his doctor was excellent. He was available for family meetings and at every decline he would explain what was happening and tell us what to expect.” The good moments are still treasured, though they lost him nearly three years ago. “He would never forget names and faces, even the grandchildren, right up to the very last.” They were able, with their shared duties, to keep him at home up until the last six months. “One of the doctors recommended we care for him at home. The doctor gave us the option of a nursing home, but suggested that Alzheimer’s would go faster in long-term care. We feel that’s why he knew us— because he saw us every day.” Confesor remained at home until the last six months, at which time he entered hospice care. “He never forgot who we were. On his last day, he was calling for us. He passed away with the whole family. And he’s in peace. He’s okay. I know that.” And their team continues on. “We saw that there was not enough Hispanics participating in the Walk. By doing it and talking to others, we now see more coming along as well. We all walk and bring our children and grandchildren. Everyone. “I like to participate because I feel I’m helping other families. Whatever people can give, even if it’s a dollar, it’s helping families.” “When I talk to other people about what my father went through—we’re happy because every year we are getting more people involved.” n Santiago Family | 53 Honorarium Tributes Marthajoy Aft Rebecca Amariglio AmeriCare Barbara Armstrong Bob Armstrong David Aronson and Georgianna Nyman Michael Baker Etta Bandle Laura and Gene Bard Sara Baron Richard Barry Dave Bayley Catherine Beigel Priscilla Bell and Elaine Williams Ida Belsky Ken and Deborah Bergstrom Dick Berkman Maxine Berman A Claire Bevin Jo-Ann E.
