The Beatitudes Campus in Phoenix, AZ, featured in the New York Times and reprinted in a Star Tribune Story on January 2, 2011 is taking steps to respond to the Memory Loss challenge. At http://www.beatitudescampus.org the approach is described in detail.
An example of creativity at Beatitudes Campus is providing a gentleman who loved fishing with a tackle box that he could set up day after day. His anxiety decreased and his more dependable life style enabled his caregivers to be more relaxed and do their work better with more personal satisfaction. How simple and direct. A plastic tackle box with some fishing equipment takes the place of some medications including anti-psychotic drugs. Minimal cost producing some peace of mind for patient and caregiver makes sense on all levels.
