Editor's Note: This is the penultimate edition of the Elder Care/Work Balance e-newsletter. Due to changes in the economy - and in my professional life - I will be shifting the means of communicating insights about developments in elder care/work balance to updates via Twitter and my Facebook page.

If you are not yet following me on Twitter, now would be a great time to start! Click here to set up your free Twitter account. Thank you for your support and for your continuing efforts on behalf of employed caregivers. Thank you.

In recognition of November as National Family Caregivers Month and National Alzheimer's Awareness Month, I invite you to listen - and share with others - an educational podcast that provides valuable information for family caregivers coping with Alzheimer's disease, including:

• The rising incidence of Alzheimer's
• Common day-to-day challenges faced by people with Alzheimer's and their caregivers
• Risks such as the common, yet life-threatening issue of wandering and steps caregivers can take to protect loved ones
• Advice for caregivers on building a strong support network
• Valuable resources for caregivers of those with Alzheimer's

The podcast addresses these subject matters with a panel of experts, including me and:

• Gerald Flaherty, Vice President for Medical & Scientific Programs at the Massachusetts/New Hampshire Chapter of the national Alzheimer's Association, who has co-authored an award-winning book on dementia and wandering and a training guide for police on missing persons with dementia
  
  
• Jill Gilbert, Vice President at Caring.com, the leading online destination for people caring for aging parents.

To listen, simply visit here or here.

The Alzheimer's Awareness Month podcast is part of LoJack SafetyNet's educational efforts related to cognitive conditions such as Alzheimer's disease and autism.
