This program is generously supported by a grant from the Louis & June Kay Foundation.

Being an efficient caregiver requires learning strategies for planning, problem-solving, and for taking care of yourself. Studies show that caregivers - whether they are home health aides or family members - are at high risk of burnout, stress-related illness, depression, fatigue, and even loss of friends and strained family relations if they do not look after their own health and well-being.  [0 Comments](https://hha-online-application-new.truecareny.com/blog/how-to-be-an-involved-caregiver#comments-listing) [Read More →](https://hha-online-application-new.truecareny.com/blog/how-to-be-an-involved-caregiver) ## [Painting with Scissors: A Matisse-inspired Art Workshop](https://hha-online-application-new.truecareny.com/blog/matisse-inspired-art-workshop-memory-care) Posted by [Kelly La Rosa](https://hha-online-application-new.truecareny.com/blog/author/kelly-la-rosa) in [Insider News](https://hha-online-application-new.truecareny.com/blog/tag/insider-news), in [Alzheimer's & Dementia](https://hha-online-application-new.truecareny.com/blog/tag/alzheimers-dementia) [![Painting with Scissors: A Matisse-inspired Art Workshop ](https://cdn2.hubspot.net/hubfs/3938498/IMG_2107a-1.jpg) ](https://hha-online-application-new.truecareny.com/blog/matisse-inspired-art-workshop-memory-care) As part of the Care Connection Community Class in conjunction with the [Alzheimer's Foundation  of America (AFA)](https://alzfdn.org/), True Care was pleased to facilitate A Matisse-Inspired Workshop.

Although we may never fully comprehend what it truly feels like for the individual, there are many ways to learn compassion and how to care for the memory affected loved one in your life. This is a task that the Alzheimer's Foundation of America have taken on through their Care Connection Sunset Series, a program which involves briefly immersing its participants in a virtual reality world where you experience symptoms like blurred vision, hallucinations, and disorientation.  [0 Comments](https://hha-online-application-new.truecareny.com/blog/afa-develops-vr-tool-for-understanding-dementia#comments-listing) [Read More →](https://hha-online-application-new.truecareny.com/blog/afa-develops-vr-tool-for-understanding-dementia) [← Previous](https://hha-online-application-new.truecareny.com/blog/author/kelly-la-rosa/page/1) [All posts](https://hha-online-application-new.truecareny.com/blog/all) [Next →](https://hha-online-application-new.truecareny.com/blog/author/kelly-la-rosa/page/3) ### Subscribe to our blog - Recent - Popular - Categories ### Lists by Topic - [Health & Lifestyle (53)](https://hha-online-application-new.truecareny.com/blog/tag/health-lifestyle) - [Caregiver Corner (50)](https://hha-online-application-new.truecareny.com/blog/tag/caregiver-corner) - [Alzheimer's & Dementia (37)](https://hha-online-application-new.truecareny.com/blog/tag/alzheimers-dementia) - [Coronavirus Updates (21)](https://hha-online-application-new.truecareny.com/blog/tag/coronavirus-updates) - [Insider News (20)](https://hha-online-application-new.truecareny.com/blog/tag/insider-news) - [wellbeing (8)](https://hha-online-application-new.truecareny.com/blog/tag/wellbeing) - [mindfulness (5)](https://hha-online-application-new.truecareny.com/blog/tag/mindfulness) - [summer (5)](https://hha-online-application-new.truecareny.com/blog/tag/summer) - [Hospice (4)](https://hha-online-application-new.truecareny.com/blog/tag/hospice) - [home care (4)](https://hha-online-application-new.truecareny.com/blog/tag/home-care) - [heat (3)](https://hha-online-application-new.truecareny.com/blog/tag/heat) - [Nutrition (2)](https://hha-online-application-new.truecareny.com/blog/tag/nutrition) - [PTSD (1)](https://hha-online-application-new.truecareny.com/blog/tag/ptsd) - [Veterans (1)](https://hha-online-application-new.truecareny.com/blog/tag/veterans) - [flu (1)](https://hha-online-application-new.truecareny.com/blog/tag/flu) - [norovirus (1)](https://hha-online-application-new.truecareny.com/blog/tag/norovirus) [see all](https://hha-online-application-new.truecareny.com/blog/author/kelly-la-rosa/page/2#) ### Posts by Topic - [Health & Lifestyle (53)](https://hha-online-application-new.truecareny.com/blog/tag/health-lifestyle) - [Caregiver Corner (50)](https://hha-online-application-new.truecareny.com/blog/tag/caregiver-corner) - [Alzheimer's & Dementia (37)](https://hha-online-application-new.truecareny.com/blog/tag/alzheimers-dementia) - [Coronavirus Updates (21)](https://hha-online-application-new.truecareny.com/blog/tag/coronavirus-updates) - [Insider News (20)](https://hha-online-application-new.truecareny.com/blog/tag/insider-news) - [wellbeing (8)](https://hha-online-application-new.truecareny.com/blog/tag/wellbeing) - [mindfulness (5)](https://hha-online-application-new.truecareny.com/blog/tag/mindfulness) - [summer (5)](https://hha-online-application-new.truecareny.com/blog/tag/summer) - [Hospice (4)](https://hha-online-application-new.truecareny.com/blog/tag/hospice) - [home care (4)](https://hha-online-application-new.truecareny.com/blog/tag/home-care) - [heat (3)](https://hha-online-application-new.truecareny.com/blog/tag/heat) - [Nutrition (2)](https://hha-online-application-new.truecareny.com/blog/tag/nutrition) - [PTSD (1)](https://hha-online-application-new.truecareny.com/blog/tag/ptsd) - [Veterans (1)](https://hha-online-application-new.truecareny.com/blog/tag/veterans) - [flu (1)](https://hha-online-application-new.truecareny.com/blog/tag/flu) - [norovirus (1)](https://hha-online-application-new.truecareny.com/blog/tag/norovirus) [see all](https://hha-online-application-new.truecareny.com/blog/author/kelly-la-rosa/page/2#) ### Recent Posts ### About Us ![](https://cdn2.hubspot.net/hub/439306/file-2246554836-png/images/Velocity_icon.png?width=100&name=Velocity_icon.png) It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout.
