Welcome. About this Site.
This site was inspired by my Mom’s autoimmune dementia.
It is a place where we separate out the wheat from the chafe, the important articles & videos from each week’s river of news. Google gets a new post on Alzheimer’s or dementia every 7 minutes. That can overwhelm anyone looking for help. This site filters out, focuses on and offers only the best information. it has helped hundreds of thousands of people since it debuted in 2007. Thanks to our many subscribers for your supportive feedback.
The site is dedicated to all those preserving the dignity of the community of people living with dementia.

I love this idea, freedom with safety for loved ones with dementia. Facilities like this would be such a comfort to caregivers and loved ones
This would be perfect for my Dad, he is a 'wanderer' , so he could wander safely. This really is the way forward,
AutumnWood Memory in Claremore, Oklahoma. 60 bed facility of Alzheimer's & dementia! I would love to visit the village!
I wonder if they accept volunteers?
This would be a great way to spend my next vacation !!!
i only wish this had closed captioning…. this facility is a great idea!
Brilliant idea!! Wish we could see them worldwide. My Mother suffers with dementia…and I know how this affects her…I am all for a better quality of life for her and all with this dreadful disease.
I love this!!!
I wish they had one in Georgia…I loved it.
YES! I am in Wisconsin and have worked in nursing homes and now work at a day services center (day care-like). I wish this was adopted as the norm!
