Welcome. About this Site.
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.

I met you years ago. I want to think it was in Kinston. I lost my mama to Alzheimer’s and now I have been diagnosed with it recently. All prayers are welcome.
I work in long-term care, and this video was an eye opener. I'd love to share it with my coworkers.
