"55% of people who have Alzheimer's disease haven't been told yet." Alzheimer's Asso.
Yike! That is a staggering statistic! And, I heard on the news this week that more women than men will eventually have Alzheimer's disease. What can we do to protect ourselves? Daily exercise, nutritious food, meditation or other practices to deal with stress, adequate sleep, and social activity that is stimulating.

This blog is written to provide information and support to persons who are providing care for someone with dementia. A first indicator of dementia is when someone has trouble doing a task once familiar and easy for them. If you have begun to be concerned about someone's memory or cognitive processing, help the person receive a physical exam, to include lab work, and an appointment with a neuropsychologist for an evaluation of memory and cognitive processing.
