My business, my passion and my drive is personal for me. Dementia has affected so many aspects of my life. Passing the ASAP Act is essential for early diagnosis and planning.

They lost their mother to dementia and advocate for early screening based on their professional recognition of symptoms, which enabled earlier transition to appropriate care facilities.

I would never point fingers, because I’ve made the same mistakes!

And why I understand every one of them

Every day we remember.
Many days we support.
More days we must advocate.

Today we honor those living with and fighting for people living with Alzheimer's type dementia.

We remember those we lost.

I get lots of questions about The GUIDE program. This Medicare funded program is a good support for those caring for someone living with dementia.

GUIDE Program Highlights
Services are covered at no additional cost to the client or caregiver.
$2,563 annually for in-home or adult day center respite (time off for the caregiver).
Comprehensive Assessments: To understand the specific challenges and strengths of each individual and caregiver.
Personalized Care Plans: Tailored care that adapts as needs evolve.
Ongoing Support: Regular check-ins to help you navigate the complexities of dementia care with confidence.
Caregiver services include training on how to best care for your loved one living with dementia, education, and respite services.

Unfortunately, in Maryland, many of the program's providers now have a waitlist.

If you need help NOW, call Eye on Elders for your in-home evaluation and report to support you and your loved ones.

Chat is at it again! Ok, it was me....BUT I needed your attention!

The cost of dementia care is substantial and rising. The total cost of care for people with Alzheimer’s and other dementias is projected to reach $409 billion in 2026, up from $384 billion.

We need treatment. Not just infusions for a special few with loads of side effects. Better yet, we need a cure.

This year I will walk again http://act.alz.org/baltimore and invite you to join me, donate or share with others.

If you would like to make a donation, please visit My Team Page at http://act.alz.org/goto/eyeonelders

I hope you’ll join us. Every step brings us closer to a world without Alzheimer’s. 💜
