Does anyone remember The Alzheimer's Project? It was produced by HBO and was available online for a time. There was good information there.

    Iris,

    I have this program on a DVD that my daughter-in-law gave to me years ago when DH was first diagnosed. I remember watching it on my computer “in secret” because I was worried about DH’s reaction if he saw it. I found it very informative at the time, although sad, not knowing what to expect in my own situation. Thanks for mentioning it; it might be a good resource for those just starting the journey into Alz caregiving.
