Whether you’re balancing a home business with caregiving or considering doing this, I hope you find these tips helpful.

As noted in today’s Cumberland Times-News, Pegg, who is autistic, “has not spoken a single word since he was 2 years old.” He was recently awarded the Personal Achievement Award from the Maryland Division of Rehabilitation Services and the Maryland Rehabilitation Association. Pegg receives assistance from his family, counselor, and Derrick Swandol, a job coach from Spectrum, a local non-profit agency. I know it’s a long road ahead to figuring out a job for Charlie and supporting him in it. Hearing about Hire the Brain and Andilla Designs...

Jean Murray, at Small Business Boomers, has a great post with information and resources concerning what the IRS (Internal Revenue Service in the US) considers a true business. You might like to check out her, Boomers Retiring to “Fun” Businesses: Is birdwatching a business?

Suzanne has offered some additional insights for Alzheimer’s Notes’ readers:  eBay is becoming more and more popular for the “sandwich” generation who are looking for additional means to bring extra income into the home, whether to save for retirement or to care for a parent or spouse. eBay works great for caregivers or the homebound because sellers can interact with their customers and this helps with the isolation factor, and it gives the caregiver another focus, a hobby, and something fun to do to combat “caregiver’s syndrome.” Whether the caregiver develops an e-busine...

If you’re considering online or eBay businesses, check out the helpful information at the new blog at b5media’s Business Channel, eShopOwner.com, by Suzanne Wells. Suzanne has a number of posts concerning the in’s and out’s about setting up an eBay store. She does this in the FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) format.

The “Apprentice” type contest at the b5 Business Channel (now in its second week) addresses the topic of possible lead in novelty buttons used on chef’s aprons and hats for children that our prototype business owner, Kay, sells.   Checking out and following this contest will provide some diversion from your caretaking duties.  This week’s challenge may give you an idea of what business owners now are f...

Do you produce products that aid in caring for the Alzheimer’s patient?  These can range from items that aid with care.  Or they could be dolls and stuffed toys that provide comfort for the patient. Do you provide clothing that makes it easier for dressing the patient? If you’ve ventured into one of these areas and could use advice on creating momentum and more income in your business, the Jump Start Your Business contest at b5media’s Business Channel might just be the place to start ...

Laura relates there some of the background about caring for her father, then gives tips that Alzheimer’s caregivers and home business owners can utilize.  Even if you don’t have a home business, but work outside the home, you’ll likely find Laura’s story encouraging. Also, Laura was a member of the “sandwich generation” while she was doing this, juggling children’s and a family’s schedule along with her business.
