MORE INFO:

    Singer Jay Allen’s mom, Sherry Rich, passed away in February 2019 after her battle with Alzheimer’s, according to the Taste of Country website. The singer asked fans in a post on Instagram to celebrate her life and to continue to share her story “until we finally end this thief of a disease.” The performer estimated at that time that his song, “Blank Stares,” had raised so far more than $25 million in the fight against Alzheimer’s.

Caring for dementias such as Alzheimer's among family and friends, Peter committed to help preserve the dignity of people affected by Alzheimer's. AlzheimersWeekly.com is the fruit of that commitment.

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.
