Thank you for sharing my book. This book will take the reader on a roller coaster of emotions. You will laugh, you will cry, but most of all you will gain knowledge, from the eyes of a dementia patient.

And knowledge is power. My book is also available on Kindle Fire, and can be purchased as an audio version as well. It is a very easy read. Short chapters and very insightful for both the caregiver and the patient…

Caring for dementias such as Alzheimer's among family and friends, Peter committed to help preserve the dignity of people affected by Alzheimer's. AlzheimersWeekly.com is the fruit of that commitment.

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.
