(Carrollton, GA) — Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias is growing expeditiously. One in three people are affected by dementia in some way.
It is critical that not just family and professional caregivers learn about coping with dementia but the entire community as we all have opportunities to encounter someone with dementia whether it be at the grocery store, in church, or a police officer responding to a 911 call.
