How Innovative Designs Can Help Ease Ethical Tension in Good Dementia Caregiving and Decision-Making
Internationally, there is a long history of improving dementia care quality by focusing on patients' strengths and supporting environments that normalize their daily routines. The European dementia village is a pioneering health care site: 4 acres of integrated housing and amenities that include large exterior walkways around gardens, restaurants, and shops. A US-based conceptual model is the dementia friendly city center, which integrates health…
A Conversation About the Ethics of Past and Future Memory Care Models
Dementia care organizations face a range of daunting environmental changes and challenges. Internationally, there is a long history of efforts to improve quality of care and life for individuals with dementia. In a time of particular attention to the images of older adults confined to a single or shared room in a care facility due to COVID-19, autonomy becomes the overarching problem, not only because in general institutions limit the freedom of …
The case for investing in the prevention and control of non-communicable diseases in the six countries of the Gulf Cooperation Council
BACKGROUND: While the non-communicable disease (NCD) burden in the countries of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) (Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates) has surged over the past decades, the costs and return on investment (ROI) of implementing cost-effective, WHO-recommended NCD interventions have not been established. METHODS: We performed an economic analysis to estimate the ROI from scaling up four sets of N…
In-Lab Development of a Mobile Interface for Cognitive Assistive Technology to Support Instrumental Activities of Daily Living in Dementia Homecare
5.5 million Americans have Alzheimer's disease or some form of dementia and by mid-century, the number of people living with dementia in the United States is projected to grow to 13.8 million. About half of the persons with dementia currently live at home, 43% require occasional support, 47% daily support, and 10% continuous support; with most of this support provided by informal family caregivers. Caregivers face on-going significant risk throug…
Thinking outside of the Box
The double societal hit of dementia and infectious disease outbreaks like the COVID-19 pandemic have raised a convergence of concerns for the future of care settings for people living with dementia. It is estimated that 5.4 million Americans have some form of dementia and these numbers are expected to rise in the coming decades, leading to an unprecedented demand for memory care housing and services. In searching for innovative options to create …
Do black/white differences in telomere length depend on socioeconomic status
Social and economic disadvantage are hypothesized to increase the risk of disease and death via accelerated biological aging. Given that US blacks are socially and economically disadvantaged relative to whites, health disparities scholars expected that blacks would have shorter telomere length-a biomarker of cell aging-than whites. Yet the majority of studies have found that blacks have longer telomere length than whites. Using data from the Nati…
Lessons Learned from the Active Aging for L.I.F.E. Intergenerational Programming
In Spring 2016 a community health education program entitled Active Aging for L.I.F.E was developed for an intergenerational audience (students 18-25 and older adults 65+) at a large Midwestern university. In order to gain perspective of the participant’s attitudes about the structure and execution of the speaker series, focus groups were conducted by researchers with both generations of participants six months after the speaker series concluded,…
Ours is the Strangest Situation, Ours is Different from Most Peoples”
The relationship between the person with dementia with family caregivers is a key factor in maintaining a sense of self and personhood. Spousal caregiving in particular can create a world of shared meaning, and in the context of the presence of cognitive decline in one spouse, couple hood is essential to a full understanding of how spouses live with and respond to the impact of dementia. While much research has focused on the strengths of long-te…
The Impact of Respite Programming on Caregiver Resilience in Dementia Care
Family members with a relative with dementia often experience what has been called the "unexpected career of caregiver" and face multifaceted, complex, and stressful life situations that can have important consequences. This exploratory study was designed to address this major public health challenge through the lens of caregiver resilience and caregiver respite programming. While many caregivers report that they derive significant emotional and …

Advances in audiovisual technology, most notably the advent of the popular usage of digital technology in the last few years, have altered the face of popular television. Thanks to cable, satellite and now digital technology, television broadcasts can reach an international audience. The reaction from cultural critics has been mixed. As the debate concerning the effects of new telecommunications and audiovisual technology continues unabated, this…
Local specificity and regional unity under siege
This article addresses the depiction of regional and local identity in terms of France and Europe, in the March 1999 weekday evening news transmissions of FR3 Aquitaine and M6 Bordeaux in Aquitaine, France. It begins with a discussion of current debates surrounding different forms of territorial identity. This is followed by an overview of televisual policy at a national and regional level. The ensuing analysis of the March 1999 programmes demons…
