JReads with the Jewish Home

Join this month’s speaker, Sarah Blum, with the Jewish Home.

Sarah will share a review of Dr. John Zeisel’s book, “I’m Still Here: A New Philosophy of Alzheimer’s Care”

There currently is no cure for Alzheimer’s disease, though it can be treated. For the last fifteen years, John Zeisel, Ph.D. has spearheaded a movement to treat Alzheimer’s non-pharmacologically by focusing on the mind’s strengths.

I’m Still Here is a guidebook to Dr. Zeisel’s treatment ideas, showing the possibility and benefits of connecting with an Alzheimer’s patient through their abilities that don’t diminish with time, such as understanding music, art, facial expressions, and touch. By harnessing these capacities, and by using other strategies, it’s possible to offer the person a quality life with connection to others and to the world.

There will be coffee/tea and cookies!
