As we all know, Alzheimer’s disease and other similar dementias have a devastating effect on both the person with the disease and their families. Every year, more and more funding goes into finding a cure or a solution. British Prime Minister, David Cameron, has recognized the true costs of these diseases and has set up an agenda that should help to make a change. He believes that dementias can be approached in the same way as cancer and AIDS have been approached in the past. To read more about the Prime Ministers plan, follow this link:

Thank you for this interesting and important news. I have suspected that US policymakers could learn from the UK as to how critical person-centered care is for the elderly and especially those with dementia. On another note, if you haven’t seen the movie yet, I recommend The Iron Lady. I felt Meryl Streep did a terrific job in portraying Margaret Thatcher’s struggles with the disease.
Thanks, Dianne! Hope you are doing well.
