CBS News -- Ballet Dancer-Turned-Attorney, Carissa Kranz, Invites Alzheimers Ballet Mentor Home

Carissa Kranz takes on the role of a lifetime: Caregiver, for her former ballet mentor, Joan Miller, of the Palm Beach Ballet Center. Six years ago, the ballet dancer-turned-lawyer helped her elderly destitute teacher with Alzheimers, by funding her care, becoming her advocate, and allowing her to live in her home. Carissa rescued Miss Joan from a 1.5 star nursing facility wardroom where she was warehoused with 5 roommates, no family, and no advocate. As her condition worsened her ballet school was shut down, her home foreclosed, her animals confiscated and her dignity robbed. With no money, and noone, Miss Joan was left destitute and helpless. Carissa could not accept this reality for her ballet teacher who she says was like a grandmother to her. Carissa danced on scholarship for free her entire life with Miss Joan, but now she is performing for her ballet teacher in ways she never dreamed. Carissa is gracefully advocating for services and dancing circles around the system to ensure Miss Joan continues to have a safe home and care in the community. Watch this pas de deux, a duo of pure love neither expected. You can donate to Miss Joan's continued care in the community through go fund me, or by wearing one of these NOW watch movement bands. Alzheimers patients live in the NOW, a valuable lesson this teacher is still teaching. The power of NOW.
