Conversations with Ed
Waiting for Forgetfulness: Why are we so Afraid of Alzheimer’s Disease
by Ed Voris, Nader Shabahangi, and Patrick Fox, in collaboration with Sharon Mercer
Elders Academy Press, 2009
How can we not be afraid of Alzheimer’s Disease? How can we not dread aging? by posing these questions we are invited alternate ways of seeing Alzheimer’s disease as well as aging. In so doing we do not want to minimize the suffering that people may experience watching a loved one become forgetful. Nor do we want to minimize that becoming forgetful and growing old can be pain processes. Rather, Conversations with Ed wants to create a positive cultural space for people with dementia, for those who accompany them on their journey and for those who fear being afflicted with it.

The AgeSong Institute Gero-Wellness training emphasizes that we need to ‘see’ and care for the whole human being. It teaches that symptoms are meaningful and important signals for a deeper understanding of each person, that these symptoms need to be met with curiosity and respect, with an attitude of wonder and love.

by Janna O’Sullivan
The literal definition of nourishment is the sustenance necessary for growth, health, and good condition.
As part of the AgeSong approach to assisted living, Dining Services starts with the physical nourishment, but it’s not where we end. My name is Janna O’Sullivan, and I am the Senior Director of Dietary Services for Agesong. Food, and all that pertains to food, is my life.
