The Alzheimer's Association released a Special Report that updates dementia and dementia care information. I have on;y read about 1/3 of the info so far, so I expect I'll have a lot more to share over the nexrt several weeks. The industry is getting better at discovering, diagnosing, and managing dementia. I tried to get a link to the report, but I can't find it. The title is "2026 Alzheimer's Disease Facts and Figures". There is a ton of info at the Alzheimer's Association website website https://www.alz.org/ Check out the "About" and 'Research" tabs, and then schedule with me to protect your family, assets and choices when extended care is needed at home, in a family member's home or in a facility/community setting Schedule here
