Send us a textWhen a loved one receives an Alzheimer's diagnosis, families often feel overwhelmed and uncertain where to turn. For home care agencies serving these families, having the right resources and training can make all the difference in providing compassionate, effective care. That's where the Alzheimer's Association comes in.In this enlightening conversation with Claire Corwin, Program Director of the Alzheimer's Association, we uncover the wealth of free resources available to both home care agencies and the families they serve. Claire, whose journey began while caring for her own grandmother, shares her expertise on everything from specialized dementia training programs to emotional support services."We want to make sure we're maximizing quality care and support for people living with dementia," Claire explains, highlighting the Association's mission to accelerate research while supporting those affected today.

Every dollar raised will go directly to support individuals living with dementia and provide resources for their caregivers. Organizers invite the community to participate, emphasizing that their support will make a meaningful difference in the lives of local families affected by Alzheimer's and related conditions. Call 309-761-8088 for carry-out. A new era in Alzheimer's detection is unfolding as the FDA has approved a groundbreaking blood test to help diagnose the disease. The Lumipulse G pTau217/ß-Amyloid 1-42 Plasma Ratio requires only a simple blood draw, offering a less invasive and more accessible alternative to current PET scans or spinal taps. Designed for adults 55 and older with signs of cognitive decline, the test detects amyloid plaques closely associated with Alzheimer's. In clinical studies, the test demonstrated strong accuracy in predicting plaque presence, though it's intended for use alongside other diagnostic evaluations rather than as a stand-alone screening tool. According to a study, four in five Americans said they would want to know if they had Alzheimer's before symptoms started, and 92% of Americans would want a medication to slow the progression of the disease.

Having a relative or loved one receive a dementia diagnosis can be challenging for families, especially for families with children. How can parents, guardians and other adults explain these complex memory and thinking changes to children in a way they'll understand? One possible way – children's books. Dr. Tomás León joins the podcast to discuss his collection of children's books focused on different kinds of dementia, including Alzheimer's disease, frontotemporal dementia, Lewy body dementia and vascular dementia. He discusses his inspiration for the four stories, the writing and translation process, and the importance of helping children understand what's happening to their loved ones, as well as shares advice on how to address these difficult conversations.
