Finally, a unique tool which let's caregivers know its time for them to take care of themselves while providing potentially therapeutic benefits for those with Alzheimer's. It's a simple as turning on. the VCR and popping in a video.

"I'm able to do household chores and be out of mother's site for short times without her wanting to get out of the chair" wrote Mrs. Alicia Boone of Albany, Oregon. Mrs. Boone and others have realized the value that a simple video respite tape can hold by providing respite to them as caregivers while providing a wonderful opportunity for relaxation, companionship and `health breaks' for persons with Alzheimer's.

While the program may appear simple, years of research and market reports have provided volumes of information which go into the development of each video program. After years of work, this program is now protected by a patent which will help ward off potential `copycats' who may see this program as something simple enough to be developed without such volumes of data which back this program to its current effectiveness.

Each video provides a friendly, simulated visit for the person with Alzheimer's. A charming video friend leads the viewer through a conversation about in-tact memories and musical interludes - often accompanied with light arm, hand or leg exercises. Viewers stay attached and interested in the videos unlike television or other potential resources. It is not unusual for people to report successes such as Ruby Bingham of Kenai, Alaska who said "it held mom's attention. She responded as if Marilyn was visiting in her home ... It was wonderful seeing mom so excited about something."

Potentially therapeutic benefits such as calming of agitation, reduction of wandering, and stopping repetitive questioning have been reported by many users.
