Finding the Bloom of the Cactus Generation: Improving the Quality of Life for Seniors

The Cactus Generation explains about the benefits of touch for seniors, especially those suffering from Alzheimer's disease. Alzheimer's patients cease to recognize family members by sight or by the sound of voice, but they will always recognize their touch. Touch becomes another form of communication, one that we are not accustomed to. Touch breaks through the barriers of Alzheimer's disease. The Cactus Generation explains how to stay connected to loved ones through the personal story of author Maggie Walters.
