Listen as country singer Glen Campbell reflects on his life in his song, "A Better Place," during his battle with Alzheimer's. (Video)

Award-winning country singer, songwriter, guitarist, actor and television host Glen Campbell recorded the critically-acclaimed album “Ghost on the Canvas” in 2011 soon after receiving a diagnosis of Alzheimer’s. “A Better Place,” recorded on the album, was a musical autobiography that he wrote together with friend and music producer Julian Raymond. Campbell then set out on a farewell tour, allowing a filmmaker to document his performances and struggles, the day after he released the album. Glen Campbell’s battle with Alzheimer’s ended on August 8, 2017, six years after his diagnosis.

Caring for dementias such as Alzheimer's among family and friends, Peter committed to help preserve the dignity of people affected by Alzheimer's. AlzheimersWeekly.com is the fruit of that commitment.

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.
