| | Giving Tuesday donations can go twice as far to help fight Alzheimer's disease | Dec. 1 is Giving Tuesday, a day dedicated to giving back. Thanks to our generous donor Vicky Patel, your donation on Giving Tuesday can go twice as far in the fight against Alzheimer's disease. She has agreed to give the Association $1 million if we can raise the same amount by Dec. 31. Donate and share why you give on social media with hashtags #ENDALZ and #GivingTuesday. The Association is grateful for all who support the fight to end Alzheimer's on this special day of giving and beyond. | | | | | | |

| | People caring for those with Alzheimer's disease also need to take care of themselves | During National Alzheimer's Disease Awareness Month and National Family Caregivers Month, it's important to remember that caregivers of people with Alzheimer's disease may be neglecting to take of themselves.

| | People with Alzheimer’s may sometimes repeat statements and questions | A person with Alzheimer's may do or say something over and over — like repeating a word, question or activity — or undo something that has just been finished. In most cases, he or she is probably looking for comfort, security and familiarity. People with dementia who ask questions repeatedly may be trying to express a specific concern, ask for help or cope with frustration, anxiety or insecurity. | | | | | | |
