SIGN UP FOR CAROLS' LATEST POST AND NEWS
Thank you for visiting the site of Carol B. Amos. Her fervant prayer is that if you are caring for a person who has Alzheimer’s disease, God will be with you and your loved one during your journey. Alzheimer’s is not an easy journey and you should reach out for help. Carol’s desire is to make your journey less stressful and more rewarding.
This website, CarolBAmos.com, contains resources and information that Carol found useful during her journey caring for a loved one with Alzheimers. Carol continues to read, attend conferences, and learn more about Alzheimer’s disease, effective caregiving, and Alzheimer’s prevention. In order to share important resources and information with you on the website please sign up for Carol’s newsletter above.
The original title of this book idea in 2008 was “From Discovery to Recovery.” Even then, Carol was hopeful that a cure would be found. Unfortunately, her mother passed away before this happened. Please support organizations that are working on cures including the Alzheimer’s Association (www.alz.org) and Cure Alzheimer’s Fund (www.curealz.org). Carol’s hope and prayer is that a cure will soon be found and her book will no longer be needed.
"I was a caregiver for my mother who had Alzheimer’s for over eleven years. I wrote the book H.O.P.E. for the Alzheimer’s Journey because as I spoke to other caregivers, I found that a little information made a big difference in their caregiving." ~ Carol B. Amos |
"It is a blessing to others when God sends you to them as a voice of encouragement." ~ Roy Lessin |
THE CAREGIVING PRINCIPLE® RECEIVES A MAUDE’S AWARD
The Caregiving Principle® Receives a Maude’s Award
I attended an awesome virtual reception today. The Caregiving Principle® was awarded a 2021 Maude’s Award. Maude’s Awards was created to enrich the quality of life for persons living with Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias and their care partners. It provides monetary awards to organizations and individuals for innovations excelling in one of 4 categories of care. Maude’s Awards was created in 2019 by Richard Ferry (Co-Founder of Korn-Ferry International) in honor of his beloved wife of 65 years. In 2013, Maude was diagnosed with dementia and she just recently passed away.
During the reception, each of the 3 organizations and 5 individuals discussed their innovation and how it impacted persons with dementia and/or their care partners. It was so inspiring to be a part of this event. To see all the winners and the wide range of their contributions, visit https://maudesawards.org/2021-awardees/.
The Caregiving Principle® was recognized as an innovation that provides Support to Care Partners. This recognition will help me to spread my message of H.O.P.E. to more care partners. I developed The Caregiving Principle® based on my experience as a care partner for my mother, Elizabeth Boyd. The benefits of The Caregiving Principle®:
The Caregiving Principle® is introduced in my book, H.O.P.E. for the Alzheimer’s Journey: Help, Organization, Preparation, and Education for the Road Ahead.
