| Introduction | In 2003 I began working as an art consultant for elders with Alzheimer's disease in an assisted living community, and presently I'm an activities professional at an adult day care center in San Francisco. I started this blog to express my ideas about creative living with Alzheimer's and memory impairment and want share these with colleagues, caregivers and clients. I studied History of Art at the University of Amsterdam, photography in New York City, Intuition Medicine in Sausalito, California, and Aging at San Francisco's City College. I consider myself a specialist in and advocate for creative programming for seniors with forgetfulness. |
