HBO is doing a documentary series on Alzheimer's starting this Sunday, May 10. Titled 'The Alzheimer's Project', the series is comprised of four parts.
- The Memory Loss Tapes
- Grandpa, Do you know who I am? (with Maria Shriver)
- Momentum in Science
- Caregivers
A national survey completed in conjunction with The Alzheimer's Project found that 54% of the US population has been affected by some way in Alzheimer's. With such a huge impact on our society, I encourage health care providers, caregivers, seniors, and anyone else affected by Alzheimer's or a loved one's cognitive decline to watch this series.
The website has great information, but please make sure to ask your health care provider if you have questions. A geriatric care manager can also help caregivers and seniors address issues associated with Alzheimer's and cognitive decline.
