One of the major changes that Alzheimer's disease brings to a spousal relationship is how it affects intimacy and sexuality. Through candid interviews with spouse caregivers and where possible, the spouse who has Alzheimer's, this
DVD explores issues such as:
blurring of roles between caregiver and intimate partner as the need for caregiving increases
changes in behavior that affect intimacy between the partners
changes in sexual attraction between the partners
The DVD opens up sensitive and sometimes taboo issues surrounding intimacy, sexuality, and Alzheimer's disease so that those couples and individuals dealing with these issues can feel more free to talk about them in support groups or with professionals.
Review
"A Thousand Tomorrows is a wonderful film which fills a gap. The love stories -- which is what they truly are -- are told with warmth, humor, poignancy, and grace. This is a terrific discussion starter for support groups and an eye-opener for the professionals and volunteers who work with Alzheimer's patients."-Kathy Laurenhue, Better Directions

Compulsive gambling can start innocently - a way to spend free time, have a little fun, meet new people. But what happens when the urge to gamble goes past a form of entertainment to real addiction? When Gambling Is No Longer Fun takes a serious look at the growing (yet often overlooked) problem of gambling addiction among older adults, and how easily it can happen - to anyone. In the program, three former compulsive gamblers share how they started gambling, the extent to which addiction overwhelmed them (and their loved ones), and how they realized they needed help. Their stories will help older adults to recognize and heed warning signs of addiction.
This program also covers:
the hidden lures that gambling can present to older adults
the impact of addiction--including loss of self-esteem, depression, thoughts of suicide, and financial ruin
the extended effects of addiction, such as, strained personal and family relationships
The DVD offers tips for staying in control (such as predetermining and sticking to the amount of money you will spend), provides guidelines for assessing one's potential for addiction, and gives information about gambling recovery programs.
