She serves as our Massachusetts Ambassador. Lily is also an award-winning ice skater who also donates her time teaching ice skating to students with disabilities. She is also an accomplished saxophone player. Lily’s great grandmother had Alzheimer’s disease, so, at a young age, Lily became involved in distributing puzzles to help those with dementia. Lily recently received a large donation of puzzles from Ceaco Puzzles in Newton MA. She plans to deliver them to nursing facilities today and over the next few weeks in honor of Martin Luther King’s birthday. Thank you, Lily!

We will have our PUZZLE AMBASSADORS bringing puzzles to facilities for people living with Alzheimer's disease, we will be solving puzzles with residents at facilities and spending time there. We are planning to supply over 3000 puzzles to underserved and diverse communities who are in need of recreational activities to provide stimulation and hopefully slow the progression of the disease. Here are some shocking statistics that we need to be aware of: Age-specific prevalence of dementia has been found to be 14% to 100% higher in African- Americans. (While the rates vary among studies, three out of four report these higher prevalence rates.) The cumulative risk of dementia among first- degree relatives of African-Americans who have Alzheimer's disease is 43.7%. Approximately 13% of Hispanics who are 65 or older have Alzheimer's or another dementia. At some point my parents would like to have their garage again.

The people living with Alzheimer's received a wonderful stimulating activity which may slow the progression of the disease. The student volunteers felt wonderful about distributing puzzles to help improve the lives of people living with Alzheimer's disease.

When people break their hip and they do not have dementia it is very stressful. However, when someone has Alzheimer's disease, and a broken hip it is very very difficult.</p><p>Grandma was in pain and did not understand why her hip hurt her. She was very scared in the ambulance and we needed to have a 1-to-1 aide with grandma all of the time so she does not fall out of her hospital bed while trying to "escape".</p><p>Even though I was only 10 at the time, I instinctively knew that writing notes and placing them all over grandma's room would be very help and reduce the confusion.</p><p>I remember the morning after her surgery. She did not know why she was in a hospital and wanted to go "home" immediately.</p><p>The staff (nurses, doctors, PT, OT, aides) kept reminding grandma about the surgery to "orient her". I told them to write a note and place it on the wall near her bed. </p><p>It was very very helpful! In addition to having Alzheimer's disease, grandma was very hard of hearing (and did not want to wear a hearing aid). Pointing to the sign reassured her about her purpose at the hospital. I guess the part of the brain, Wernicke's area, (I am learning about it in AP Psychology) that comprehends written language, is preserved for a while (until it disappears), for people with Alzheimer's disease.</p><p>Grandma calmed down and relaxed when she understood "why" she was in the hospital. The staff appreciated my suggestion and they said they will use it with other dementia patients. This was NYU Langone Hospital in NYC. It is a fantastic hospital!</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgIdBi3UNcIJo-gHQKj9nYbVLb6bNAeNq8N88CNnQoqh_mhbdovAGBTwUohrHMxuCJXqLNV2hrpm6S2cHpabFxAzwYWQlZjTffiwVH_-JDDCdi_qDSHvZoCLuuPtGnOXZR814luyLNPAcM571SKshucWrOTEVeZnvdIPxE-v5WJUjWxyLiV99f_CU7O" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img data-original-height="720" data-original-width="960" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgIdBi3UNcIJo-gHQKj9nYbVLb6bNAeNq8N88CNnQoqh_mhbdovAGBTwUohrHMxuCJXqLNV2hrpm6S2cHpabFxAzwYWQlZjTffiwVH_-JDDCdi_qDSHvZoCLuuPtGnOXZR814luyLNPAcM571SKshucWrOTEVeZnvdIPxE-v5WJUjWxyLiV99f_CU7O=w400-h300" width="400" /></a></div><br /><p></p>Haileyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06878885827616548719noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-632073165826442535.post-14265545778665034252022-10-07T10:27:00.002-04:002022-10-07T10:27:58.079-04:00Thank You So Much Frances Valentine!<p> We are so very grateful to Frances Valentine for their EXTREMELY generous donation of 1000 jigsaw puzzles to our organization!</p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjNyCE3Twm49sUeYrKajTXNyrDVJGwCRhPsz0TOceQ3d3yEuEPW8a_D2XG89CM4YECkMIiD29353FPJaHdZwH9hIKWhFe9WsVy5a5QDD_3yIOQL2MWtXBw8IY74HpjP56u-0PIvBL1K7fDOi_aC8SyD6GdygsFCvLhYXJr3JAo4gcSgdfu78iNQdFg_" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img data-original-height="314" data-original-width="640" height="196" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjNyCE3Twm49sUeYrKajTXNyrDVJGwCRhPsz0TOceQ3d3yEuEPW8a_D2XG89CM4YECkMIiD29353FPJaHdZwH9hIKWhFe9WsVy5a5QDD_3yIOQL2MWtXBw8IY74HpjP56u-0PIvBL1K7fDOi_aC8SyD6GdygsFCvLhYXJr3JAo4gcSgdfu78iNQdFg_=w400-h196" width="400" /></a></div><br />The puzzle on the left is called <b>Bird Is The Word</b>, and the one on the right is<b> Into The Flowers</b><p></p><p>Both puzzles are very colorful, cheerful and have lovely themes.

Here are his words:</p><div>"Implementing Puzzle Time in Brazil was a success! I worked with two senior living facilities there—Residencial Longévité and Abrigo Mariana Magalhães (AMMA). Both homes were very receptive towards the project and the residents were amazing as well. In addition to implementation, I trained volunteers there and also the staff members at the homes to continue the project. Also, we were able to consolidate all the puzzles into our baggages so there was no extra baggage fee. Attached below is a google drive link to photos and videos of the visits. Thank you so much for all the puzzles, support, and effort for expanding Puzzle Time!"</div><div><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;" /></div><div>He took many pictures and videos. Here are are a few highlights. </div><div><br /></div><div>If you are visiting another country and would like to start the Puzzle Time there, please email us at Kidcaregivers@gmail.com. </div><div><br /></div><div>The smiling faces and hugs are all that we need to see what a success it was!</div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;
