Press Release With All the Information About Why We Are So Passionate About Our 

Smash Out Alzheimer's Event

The right people, doing the right things,

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE – SEPTEMBER 10, 2019

RIGHT AT HOME OF CENTRAL NEW JERSEY PRESENTS OUR SECOND ANNUAL “SMASH-OUT ALZHEIMER’S” EVENT

East Brunswick (Right at Home of Central New Jersey) - Right at Home of Central New Jersey will host and sponsor our second annual Smash-Out Alzheimer’s event, an exciting day of pumpkin smashing, live music, holiday fair, service and food vendors, gift baskets, and much more at Mattison Crossing Assisted Living located at 93 Manalapan Avenue, Freehold, New Jersey on Sunday, November 24, 2019 from 11:00 am to 4:00 pm. Our Smash-Out Alzheimer’s event will benefit Alzheimer’s New Jersey. 

There will be pumpkin painting, pumpkin smashing, music, entertainment and service providers, as well as local businesses and artisans selling such things as handbags, holiday decorations and crafts. We’ll also have plenty of delicious food for sale plus a holiday vendor fair.  

Right at Home of Central New Jersey has already completed 2 successful Facebook fundraisers with Pampered Chef and LuLaRoe. We also have 2 Facebook fundraisers currently running, one with Yankee Candle (which runs through January 8, 2020) and the other selling pumpkin-shaped pasta with Fun Pasta Fundraising. (For our prior Smash-Out Alzheimer’s event, we also partnered with a number of restaurants, such as Cheeburger Cheeburger, Chipotle, Moe’s Southwest Grill and Coldstone Creamery throughout the year to expand our fundraising efforts beyond our major event, Smash-Out Alzheimer’s, and continue to fundraise throughout the entire year). 

Because so many of Right at Home of Central New Jersey’s past and present clients suffer from Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia, we are proud to announce that we are forming a 501c3 tax-exempt organization to be able to raise funds for Alzheimer’s-related organizations on an ongoing basis all year long. Beth Sholom, Owner/Executive Director of Right at Home of Central New Jersey, has long been passionate about giving back to the community we serve. Her motto is that we always treat and advocate for our clients the way we would our own family and her charitable works and fundraising efforts to raise money for numerous charities underscores her passion and commitment to serve and better the lives of the senior population. 

Over our years of service to seniors we have seen the decline in so many of our clients who have suffered from Alzheimer’s disease or other forms of dementia. Because of that, we are particularly focused on doing what we can to find a cure. Alzheimer’s is a progressive disease that takes away the ability of a person to live independently, as well as robbing them of the social skills and cognitive thinking abilities we all take for granted.

Memory Cafes Allow Dementia and Alzheimer's Patients to Have a Day Out

Did You Know That There Are Memory Cafes That Can Provide a Safe Respite for Alzheimer's and Dementia Patients and Their Caregivers? 

The right people, doing the right things, 

the right way, for the right reasons. 

Right at Home.

Memory Cafes are being established all over the United States. Originally established in The Netherlands 20 years ago, the concept is now gaining popularity in America.

If you are caring for an individual with dementia or Alzheimer’s, you know that it can be difficult and challenging to take your loved one to some place new, where the faces they still recognize and the things in their home they are aware of are not there. It can be very isolating for both the patient and the caregiver if they are not able to get out of the home very often. 

What memory cafes do is provide a safe space (usually in a private room in a restaurant, coffee shop, a senior center or even a museum) that allows the patient and the caregivers to socialize, talk to other patients and caregivers, and be in a place where behavior related to their disease is not judged or misunderstood. 

If you are interested in finding a memory cafe near you for your loved one, check the Memory Cafe Directory to find a location near you. 

If you think your family member or you could benefit from this experience, please contact Beth Sholom, Owner/Executive Director of Right at Home of Central New Jersey at 732-967-0900 and we will work on establishing a local Right at Home memory cafe. 

We at Right at Home of Central New Jersey consider it a privilege to be able to provide care and help to our clients with Alzheimer's and to provide respite care and support to their family members by having our caregivers work with their loved ones. 

We continue to be dedicated and determined to " Smash Out Alzheimer's " and find a cure for this terrible disease through our fundraising events over the next few months. Please consider joining us on our journey.

June 21st Is the Longest Day for Alzheimer's Patients

Right at Home of Central New Jersey 

Honors Alzheimer's Patients and Their Caregivers on June 21, the Longest Day

The right people, doing the right things, 

the right way, for the right reasons. 

Right at Home.

For an individual with Alzheimer’s, as well as their loving caregivers, every day is The Longest Day. The Longest Day is about love for those affected by Alzheimer's and for their families and caregivers. 

Nearly 6 million people in America suffer from Alzheimer's and that number is projected to grow to 14 million by 2050. One in every three seniors dies experiencing some form of Alzheimer's disease and a new case is diagnosed every 65 seconds. 

We at Right at Home of Central New Jersey consider it a privilege to be able to provide care and help to our clients with Alzheimer's and to provide respite care and support to their family members by having our caregivers work with their loved ones. We honor all of those with Alzheimer's and their family members and caregivers today and every day. We share the poem "Two Mothers Remembered" by Joann Snow Duncanson to remind us how we can care for our loved one with Alzheimer's. 

I had two Mothers - two Mothers I claim

Two different people, yet with the same name.

Two separate women, diverse by design,

But I loved them both because they were mine.

The first was the Mother who carried me here,

Gave birth and nurtured and launched my career. 

She was the one whose features I bear,

Complete with the facial expressions I wear. 

She gave her love, which follows me yet,

Along with the examples in life she set.

As I got older, she somehow younger grew,

And we'd laugh as just Mothers and daughters should do. 

But then came the time that her mind clouded so,

And I sensed that the Mother I knew would soon go.

So quickly she changed and turned into the other,

A stranger who dressed in the clothes of my Mother. 

Oh, she looked the same, at least at arm's length,

But now she was the child and I was her strength.

We'd come full circle, we women three,

My Mother the first, the second and me. 

And if my own children should come to a day,

When a new Mother comes and the old goes away,

I'd ask of them nothing that I didn't do.

Love both of your Mothers as both loved you.

Important Things to Know About Dementia

Right at Home of Central New Jersey 

Shares Things You Can Do 

When Someone You Love Has Dementia*

The right people, doing the right things, 

the right way, for the right reasons. 

Right at Home.

If your loved one has dementia, there are varying types of behaviors that you may have to deal with including memory loss, poor judgment, wander risk, mood changes, difficulty managing routine tasks and/or angry outbursts. 

While we can't change how our loved one thinks, we can deal with behavioral issues by remembering some basic things. 

• WHAT - Decide if the behavior is dangerous or merely uncomfortable. If it's just uncomfortable, try and let it go. 
• WHEN - Learn to identify what might trigger a behavior. Is it seasonal or does your loved one sundown? Knowing the triggers helps you plan better for your family member. 
• WHERE - Can moving to a different location or reducing noise or limiting the amount of people an option? Simple logistical changes can help comfort your loved one.
• WHY - Try and put yourself in your loved one's place and imagine what they might be thinking or feeling that could have triggered the behavior.
• HOW - Let your loved one know that you understand that they're upset and that you want to help. Be kind with your words and tone of voice because they will react more positively to that. 

Just remember that the behavior arises from the disease and not the person. Try and be patient with them and be patient with yourself if you lose your temper or get frustrated. 

*Based on an article entitled "New Approaches for Dealing with Difficult Dementia Behaviors" written by Mara Botonis and originally published on Alzheimers.net in October 2016. 

For more information on how Right at Home of Central New Jersey caregivers can help your loved one with dementia remain safe at home by providing companionship, meal preparation, housekeeping, laundry, bathing and personal hygiene, please contact us by calling Beth Reisman Sholom, Owner/Executive Director at 732-967-0900 or e-mailing her at beth@rahcentral.com.
