Abstract
I conceive of this project having a two-pronged focus. Part of my attention, investigation, and
efforts will be aimed at learning (and helping others to learn) some basic information about care
of and ministry to persons who exhibit symptoms and behaviors associated with dementias,
including persons whose abilities are progressively curtailed by Alzheimer'sdisease. Yet, most of
the action and reflection involved in the process of this project will be directed toward and
involve the recruitment, organization, training, implementation, and support of those persons
who are willing to give their time and personal effort in a volunteer program working with
nursing home residents who suffer from various degrees and types of dementia,
