Welcome to "Let's Talk About Alzheimer's", a periodic blog post that you will find informative, insightful, solution-based, and entertaining. The blogs will initiate and even challenge you to contemplate and communicate your thoughts on aging and the elderly as well as: medical, social, spiritual, financial, legal, caregiving, and many other issues related to AD. Actually, caregiving issues are my personal and most passionate area of concerns impacting a person with this disease.
