Senior Care Resources for Illnesses & Conditions

Alzheimer's & Dementia

A devastating disease that gradually deteriorates an individual’s lifetime of memories, Alzheimer’s or related forms of dementia have a staggering impact on the lives of those affected. Individuals with this progressive, mind-altering disease require special care. While treatments to stop or reverse Alzheimer’s do not yet exist, resources and proven methods of care are available to help you and your loved one best manage the changes it brings.

Arthritis

Arthritis can mean serious pain and fatigue for people—chronic symptoms that inhibit daily activities and lowers quality of life.

A number of lifestyle enhancements, as recommended by the Arthritis Foundation, can reduce symptoms of arthritis and enable you or your loved one to get moving again.
