Campaign to Smash Out Alzheimer's!

The right people, doing the right things,

As we have done in past years, Right at Home of Central New Jersey is working on smashing out Alzheimer's disease again this year. Our latest fundraiser is an online fundraiser with Fun Pasta Fundraising.

Right at Home of Central New Jersey is partnering with Fun Pasta Fundraising! They offer lots of fun pasta shapes (including a pumpkin-shaped pasta) and their pasta has a shelf life of 18-24 months so you can stock up now with lots of different pastas. But the most important thing to know is that 40% of every sale of pasta products will go to support  Alzheimer's New Jersey!

To help support our cause, click on the link below and order items online. Your purchases ship directly to your home in 3-5 days and our group receives profit on each and every sale. With holidays and special occasions coming up, it's a great time to order pasta so you'll always have delicious meals on hand during the busy time of the year. You'll be saving yourself time and you'll be supporting a great cause!

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.
