Welcome. About this Site.
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.

I disagree with the above statement.The patient has an illness.The Carer is living with and through that illness with the patient.It is a difficult/hard journey for both.
I also disagree with the statement I have heard,"Living Well With Dementia". Some may have a better passage than others but from my experience everyday is a challenge.For us the illness is proving to be an ever increasing difficult and hard journey!
