BOOK OF THE WEEK:

“I don’t remember what we did… but that doesn’t matter. It was sure fun while it was happening,” observes Vivian, when asked about her day. Vivian resides in “Maplewood”, the Alzheimer’s care facility in Oregon where the author worked as a resident assistant while researching this uplifting book. This book will give you new respect for Alzheimer’s patients and the redefined lives they carve out for themselves at each stage of their illness. While you weep and laugh, explore the many ways we can all benefit from even radically altered lives. Share the joy and dignity, gain courage and inspiration, while learning wonderful insights into the love and dedication that lives on in the world of Alzheimer’s. A much-needed tonic for anyone faced with caregiving.

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.
