VIDEO:

“This is really a matter of choosing to invest in Alzheimer’s research now, or choosing to pay-up in a big way later on. Clearly, Congress is choosing to pay-up in a big way later on!”

In addition to more funding for research, there should be some way to financially help families facing dementia. In order to give proper care to the patient, the survivor is left to live in poverty. If a family has saved for "a decent retirement", it is gone very soon to give care to the patient. Don't leave us pennyless in old age.

With experience in dementia caregiving, public education, and Alzheimer’s-focused writing—and a professional research background shaped in what many consider one of the world’s top laboratories—I work to make complex findings clear, practical, and genuinely helpful for families and professionals providing care.

This site was inspired by my Mom’s autoimmune dementia.

It is a place where we separate out the wheat from the chafe, the important articles & videos from each week’s river of news. Google gets a new post on Alzheimer’s or dementia every 7 minutes. 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.
