Elvis Costello and Paul McCartney singing "Veronica"
Superstar Elvis Costello sings about his grandmother's Alzheimer's and the tapestry of her full, rich life. Co-authored with Paul McCartney, it reached #1 on Billboard. (Video)

The song, co-authored with Paul McCartney, reached #1 on Billboard and is an amazing kaleidoscope about superstar Elvis Costello’s witty, powerful grandmother .

One viewer commented, “This must have been so hard to do. The fact that he can turn this into a song people are happy to hear is a masterwork of his craft. How many other people have decided to be closer to their mother while she is still alive because of this song? It’s an amazing thing.” (English & Spanish subtitles)

Caring for, lecturing and writing about dementias such as Alzheimer's, I work to preserve the dignity of people affected by one of the greater challenges of our generation.

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.
