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.

With Alzheimer's disease and other types of dementia so prevalent, every one of us should familiarize themselves with the teachings of Teepa Snow, as it's a great possibility that we'll need the information sooner or later. This article provides some additional helpful information on recognizing the signs of dementia and how to get the help you need: http://allcarelivingservices.com/recognizing-the-symptoms-of-dementia/
I am a dementia caregiver to my husband; I wrote "Boosting Joy: In The Grips of My Alzheimer’s Caregiver Journey" to educate, inform, and encourage others. http://www.eunicelsykes.com
Thanks for sharing the video. I am sure it can help many family caregivers learn about the details of seniors with dementia and how to properly handle their everyday activities.
About me: My name is John Doe, & I'm a writer at Home Care Assistance of Cleveland.
"We talked about that." Oh, how many times have I said that? I am trying to only tell him (husband) just before we are to do anything or go anywhere so he doesn't have time to argue and just says, "OK." It works better and I'm not stressed and he is able to be 'in the minute' and accept that things are getting taken caer of by me. Thanks for the reminder that we remember, not them.
That was an eye opener and hit close to home—right on target, actually. thank you!!!!!
