What is Alzheimer’s Disease?

Alzheimer’s disease is the most common form of dementia among older adults. Alzheimer’s disease involves parts of the brain that control thought, memory, and language and can seriously affect a person’s ability to carry out daily activities. Although scientists are learning more every day, right now, they still do not know what causes Alzheimer’s disease. For more information go to: http://www.cdc.gov/aging/healthybrain/alzheimers.htm

For local support attend the Alzheimer's Association Caregivers Group meetings the last Tuesday of the month at 11:30 a.m. at Sammy's Pizza in the meeting room. Lunch on your own. Anyone who has a family member of friend with memory loss is welcome to attend. There is no charge for the meeting.
