Alzheimer’s and Dementia Planning

Alzheimer’s Disease is an irreversible progressive brain disease that slowly destroys memory and thinking skills and eventually even the simplest tasks of daily living.  It can affect work, hobbies and social activities.  Alzheimer’s gets worse over time and is fatal.
