understand how Alzheimer's disease affects elders and their families. Our research includes:
- how Alzheimer's affects the performance of eldelry African-Americans
- how elderly persons use social services connected with Alzheimer's
- how Alzheimer's affects families
- the impact of Alzheimer's on the African-American community
- how people with Alzheimer's can live alone at home
- and what services are needed to live at home comfortably and safely
Remeber, you are not alone! We help secure services that help make life easier.
