I just signed the petition to make Alzheimer’s disease a national priority. Now it’s your turn to make a difference. Will you add your voice? It’s quick, easy and only takes a few moments.

http://www.alz.org/petition

Alzheimer’s disease steals the future from millions of Americans. It robs spouses of their companions and children of their parents and grandparents; it erodes the health and financial resources of caregivers. We have to do something now to stop this devastating disease.

Your signature will be delivered to Congress on September 21, 2010 – World Alzheimer’s Day. Sign now at http://www.alz.org/petition.

Together, we can make Alzheimer’s a national priority.

Thank you!

My mom has Alzheimer’s and does not have Long Term Care Insurance. Does Medicare pay for care at home?

Currently, Medicare does not pay for personal care at home.  Alzheimer’s is a very debilitating and frightening disease.  Family members suffer with its frustrating affects while trying to give loving care.  Our caregivers receive additional training in caring for the Alzheimer’s client.  Getting the right information on the best resources is a major part of the what we do for you.
