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 love the name of your startup. I have a core group of girlfriends we call ourselves the YaYa’s after the YaYa Sisterhood. My grandkids also call me YaYa. I believe it means grandmother in Greek. Anyway, rock on with this platform. Only good things can come of it due to it’s name.
