In 2011, we lost my Grandmother to her long battle with Alzheimer's Disease. With her diagnosis, I longed for ways to help her preserve abilities and continue to live in a meaningful way. This is why I have found it so rewarding to connect with businesses and organizations devoted to dementia research and improving the lives of elders living with cognitive decline.
