As Cases Soar, ‘Dementia Villages’ Look Like the Future of Home Care On a recent morning in this quiet village outside Amsterdam, an older woman stocked shelves inside the local supermarket. In

Slowing down the aging process involves engaging the production of Sirtuins (stress proteins) - which otherwise naturally decrease as we age. Occasional fasting, brisk walks in the cold air, and vigorous (short but intense) exercise are part of the solution.

We absolutely are hearing more of this and find it to be a fantastic idea. If Doulas can help you enter this world, there sure can help you leave this world.

Tony Bennett's battle with Alzheimers...we hear it often with our family caregivers. True story - about 15 years ago, we had the fortune to be dining at a Sushi bar in NYC when in walks Tony Bennett with his wife / manager. He was a gracious and classy as ever - and only spoke when his wife / manager stopped speaking.

He smiled, winked and wished me well on my way out the door. Godspeed Mr. Bennett
