That can overwhelm anyone looking for help. This site filters out, focuses on and offers only the best information. it has helped hundreds of thousands of people since it debuted in 2007. Thanks to our many subscribers for your supportive feedback.
The site is dedicated to all those preserving the dignity of the community of people living with dementia.

I want to thank Kate for all the hard work she has done. It was her book that I read that I could so relate to. If more employer were more opened to keeping people with Dementia in the workplace, we would have a sense of purpose. I was forced out of a job that I was in for 29 years when diagnosed. There was no support groups and no info about the disease. I thank God for the DAI for all that they do to help people understand more about Dementia and what it is like living with the disease. Donna
