As You Like It, Really Kind Caregivers

As You Like It, Really Kind Caregivers My name is Wendy Peters, and I'm the owner of As You Like It, Really Kind Caregivers. I have been caring for people with dementia for over 20 years. My

As You Like It: we have Really Kind Caregivers. I have a Masters Degree from the Pacific School of Religion in Berkeley, California. In addition to working with senior citizens for over 10 years in a non-profit setting, I am trained as an interfaith hospital chaplain, and have volunteered for several non-profit organizations including hospice and companionship to LGBT senior citizens. I have been giving care to people with dementia, including Alzheimer's Disease, Parkinson's Dementia, and other cognitive impairments, for over 20 years now. Most of us know someone who has dementia. Who is looking after them, and who is looking after the family members? How do you know they are being looked after lovingly and gently when you are not around? We understand it is a confusing time for everyone as your once athletic uncle or busy mom becomes incapacitated, forgets, and does, well, really weird things, like throwing away all their clothes, or putting the Palmolive in the freezer. My caregivers are specially trained to work with your loved one. They will help your loved one:
Stay clean and comfortable
Prepare their favorite foods
Keep them company
Engage them as well as possible



It can be a very scary and confusing time!

I have a wonderful, caring, and trained team ready to help you. If you have a friend with a family member who is frail, or has dementia, please let them know about us.

This is just a really sweet song about accepting people in the moment, how they are now. If you are caring for a loved one who has dementia, try taking pleasure that they are with you now, and appreciate how they are today, without lamenting how they used to be.

"Today I Went to eat at a restaurant for lunch and I saw this elder lady coming from afar so I waited to hold the door for her, she was very thankful and sweet. She then told the waitress, "table for one", so I waited and hesitated but then I walked over and said, "I'm eating by myself too would you like to have lunch together?" She was ecstatic! Come to find out she spent the last decade living with her mom who recently passed away and her aunt who recently was put into a nursing home, so she has been having a hard time being alone. We had a wonderful talk, and she just kept smiling and saying thank you for listening to me, which made me smile too! Her words healed my heart just as much as i healed her lonely one. By far the best decision I've made all year!!! Her name is Delores, and we will be having lunch every Thursday from now on." :D

I love this thank you from a daughter whose mother has Alzheimer's Disease. I have always held that just because a person is no longer able to communicate on an "adult" level, they should not be spoken to as if they were a small child. They have a life history, and they deserve to be treated with respect and care, and, of course, kindness.

Let me start by simply saying thank you! Thank you for your tireless work in the medical field. You may be prescribing or handing her medication, and checking for side effects. Maybe you are the nu…
