Weekly Digest: Pushing for Alzheimer’s Awareness

long term care weekly digest

How does one prepare and face a frightening disease like Alzheimer’s? For one, purchasing long-term care insurance may help when it comes to securing custodial care. Another would be by learning more about the condition. After all, education and awareness will result in creating an effective plan.

Awareness is also an effective way to support Alzheimer’s disease patients and their loved ones. By letting more people know more about Alzheimer’s, a deeper understanding and bond with those who live with the disease can be attained. As part of this month’s movement of National Alzheimer’s Disease Awareness, we are sharing several links to help spread awareness and information.
