My thrilling Tallahassee Active
Lifelong Leaders experience
JOAN TOLLIVER
CLASS 8 TALL GRAD

Three years ago I retired and moved from Atlanta

to Tallahassee, excited to be by our son and his family.
It was a difficult choice to leave my co-workers and
friends, as well as an extensive network of career and
nonprofit professionals, but Tallahassee felt like the
place we needed to be.
After settling in, I wondered how I would fill my
days and become part of the Tallahassee community.
Through my daughter-in-law, I became aware of the
Leadership Tallahassee and TALL organizations. I
filled out an application and was lucky enough to be
admitted into TALL Class 8. Thank you, sponsors

DEBBIE MORONEY
CEO ALZHEIMERS PROJECT

For more than two decades, Alzheim-

ers Project has improved quality of life
for both clients and their care partners
through support groups, counseling, ca-
regiver training, respite care and Pro-
ject Lifesaver, an active recovery pro-
gram for people who wander. The goal is
to empower and support caregivers so
that they can remain healthy, achieve a
higher quality of life and care for their
loved ones who are living with dementia.
The project relies on volunteer and
community support to make a differ-
ence. Over a 100 volunteers support the
program each year to provide a day
filled with activities for individuals liv-
ing with dementia while providing a
break for the care partner. Those living
with dementia have the opportunity to
play games, exercise, participate in mu-
sic therapy, and art activities.
The Alzheimer s Project teaches
Powerful Tools for Caregivers in part-
nership with the Area Agency on Aging
of North Florida and the FSU College of
Medicine. This six-week course gives
care partners the necessary tools to take
care of themselves, while providing care
to others.
Recently a care partner shared: The
Alzheimers Project has given me such
insight on the transition for my husband.
Holding my hand during the different
phases of life has been wonderful for our

Hospice is about living life to the fullest for as long as possible

KATHY GEDDINGS
BIG BEND HOSPICE
Death is a topic that most of us would
like to avoid, but the majority of Amer-
icans say they want to die in their own
homes and to be as comfortable and pain-
free as possible. Hospice is the only form
of care that can meet that need.
November is National Hospice and
Palliative Care Month. Throughout the
world, people will recognize hospice and
its valuable role in communities. At Big
Bend Hospice, we celebrate our staff,
volunteers and supporters who make our
services possible.
Our mission is to provide compassion-
ate care to individuals with a life-limit-
ing illness, comfort to their families and
emotional support to anyone who has lost
a loved one.
Through Big Bend Hospice, patients
receive excellent medical care and
more. They find comfort through ser-
vices such as music therapy, spiritual
care and bereavement care for all ages.
We also offer unique programs like
Transitions, which offers companion-
ship and support for clients and their
caregivers and the Valor Program,
which honors and celebrates Veteran pa-
tients.
Big Bend Hospice is about living life
to the fullest for as long as possible, cre-
ating memories with family and friends
and experiencing peace. During Nation-
al Hospice and Palliative Care Month,
and every month, we invite you to learn
more and to tell us how we can be there
for you and your family.
