Enough about us. What is DementiaSuccess.com here for?
DementiaSuccess.com is for you if:
You have found out that someone you love has dementia.
Perhaps you saw signs of it quite a while ago and wondered what was going on.
Maybe you helped to resolve some errors they made with money, travel, or complex decision-making.
You might have confronted and been met with denial, defensiveness, or anger.
Or maybe you stood by and scratched your head at the things that didn’t go as expected.
In any case, you’ve recently had confirmation that something serious is going on. That it’s not curable. And that it’s likely to get worse.
There are lots of excellent sources of information about dementia: Alzheimer’s Association, WebMD, Alliance for Aging Research, American Medical Association, Aging Enlightened, AARP…
