Alzheimer's Awareness PROVIDING CARE FOR LOVED ONES WITH DEMENTIA
An interview with Memory Care Manager, Kate Ellis WRITTEN BY CHERELLE PERRY
Alzheimer’s disease is a progressive brain disorder that alters memory function and behavior. This cognitive decline is a neurological condition that usually occurs in older adults or seniors. Alzheimer’s Awareness Day is designed to educate and eliminate the stigma surrounding dementia. When discussing Alzheimer’s disease, it is important to acknowledge not only the individuals who battle with it but the families and caregivers as well.
“Alzheimer's and Dementia affect the family as a whole." -Kate Ellis, Memory Care Manager
