It is one of the most mysterious and frightening diseases confronting our community. Alzheimer’s disease continues to perplex families who are dealing with loved ones with the disease and challenge the medical community. November is National Alzheimer’s Disease Awareness Month. We take a deep dive into what is, the impact on those who have it and how caregivers can find the help they need. We also have information for an upcoming Maryland conference for Alzheimer’s disease caregiving focusing on African Americans.
