My Two Elaines

Former Wisconsin Gov. Martin J. Schreiber has seen his beloved wife Elaine gradually transform from the woman who gracefully entertained in the state’s Executive Residence to one who could no longer drive a car, follow a recipe, use the bathroom or dress herself. In My Two Elaines: Learning, Coping, and Surviving as an Alzheimer’s Caregiver, Schreiber candidly counsels those who take on similar caregiving roles. We had 75 people attend Marty's presentation today. Thank you to the Greendale Health Department, the Milwaukee County Department of Aging and Clifden Court for sharing a wealth of information and resources with the participants.
