Family & Friends:
​New Memory Changes?

  • Are you terrified to think that someone you care for may be starting to get Alzheimer’s?
  • Do you feel that it’s better if you don't deal with this memory loss?
  • Is your loved one forgetting routine tasks, events and missing appointments?
  • Does your loved one get lost when driving or walking, or confused in an environment they always knew?​
  • Have there been recent "fender benders" or "near misses" when driving?
  • Is your loved one having difficulty preparing meals and doing routine household tasks?
  • Are financial decisions questionable? Are bills paid late or is mail piling up?
  • Is someone you care for forgetting names that should be remembered easily?
  • Are medications being taken on time at the correct dose?

Have you answered 'yes' to these statements?
​Here's why you must act now.

  • A memory evaluation will eliminate “reversible” causes of cognitive changes.
  • NOT being evaluated puts one at risk for serious safety issues and financial exploitation.
  • Research: Alzheimer’s treatment may lessen functional, cognitive and behavioral decline.
​Susan Scanland was an outstanding source of knowledge and support as my mother went from early symptoms through the diagnosis of fronto-temporal dementia. My wife's father has both vascular and Lewy body dementia, so we've been hammered on both sides.

Coping with Alzheimer’s or Dementia?​

  • Are friends, co-workers or other family members worried about your health?
  • Do changes in personality, mood or behavior upset you?

  • Are you having difficulty finding reliable information on dementia or Alzheimers?
  • Do other family members disagree or argue on the “correct” strategies to choose?
  • Are you concerned about safety issues?  Is wandering or getting lost a worry?
  • Is caregiver burnout, caregiver stress, or caregiver depression affecting you?

Have you answered 'yes' to these statements?
​Here's why you must act now.

  • Dementia caregiving causes depression in 1 to 2 out of 4 persons.
  • You need to protect yourself with information, resources and support!
