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.

The smallest kindness can have a huge impact on a bad day! I have fibromyalgia which means I’m usually fatigued and in pain, especially when running errands or at the grocery store. Just someone opening a door for me or helping me put a heavy item in my cart makes my day so much better. A huge thank you to those of you who give the gift of kindness during your days!
Kindness is the easiest and least expensive gift you can give to someone
So true.
