Alzheimer's and
Dementia Program

Older folks often face Alzheimer’s and dementia. The Alzheimer’s Association says over six million people in the U.S. have Alzheimer’s. Sadly, one out of every three seniors passes away with Alzheimer’s or a similar memory issue.

Taking care of elderly parents with memory issues can be tough. Here are common challenges: talking becomes hard, moods change a lot, everyday tasks like bathing and dressing get tricky, sleep gets disrupted, and sometimes, they wander or get lost.

If you’re looking after a family member with Alzheimer’s or dementia, it’s not easy. Balancing caregiving with work or taking care of your own family can be a real juggling act. And let’s be honest, it can get emotionally draining, bringing stress, guilt, and sadness.
