November is National Alzheimer's Disease Awareness Month and Family Caregivers Month
In 1983, President Ronald Reagan, who was later diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease, designated November as National Alzheimer's Disease Awareness Month. This year, the Alzheimer's Association launched two free resources for families impacted by Alzheimer's disease. Alzheimer's Association Alzheimer's Navigator™ is an online tool to help caregivers and people with dementia evaluate their needs, identify action steps and connect with local programs and services. Developed with the feedback of people living with Alzheimer's and caregivers, Alzheimer's Navigator also allows users to reassess needs and adjust care plans as the disease progresses. ALZConnected™, powered by the Alzheimer's Association, is the first social networking community designed for people living with Alzheimer's and their caregivers.
