Understanding Memory Loss
It is true that some of us get more forgetful as we age. It may take longer to learn new things, remember familiar names and words, or find our glasses. These are usually signs of mild forgetfulness, not serious memory problems.
3. ALZHEIMER'S ASSOCIATION OF LOS ANGELES
Guidelines for Alzheimer's Disease Management
This clinical practice guideline represents core care recommendations for AD management.
4. NATIONAL HOSPICE AND PALLIATIVE CARE ORGANIZATION
Hospice
Hospice nurses are the doorway to an end-of-life care system that includes doctors, social workers, chaplains, home health care aides and trained volunteers. They work together to answer any and all of their dying patients’ needs, be they physical, psychological or spiritual.

5. NATIONAL HOSPICE AND PALLIATIVE CARE ORGANIZATION
Caregiving
As the population of older citizens grows dramatically — by the year 2030 there will be 5.3 million aging baby boomers who need long-term care — many caregivers put their own lives on hold to meet the needs of ill loved ones.

6. NATIONAL INSTITUTE ON AGING
Forgetfulness: It's Not Always What You Think
A lot of people experience memory lapses. Some memory problems are serious, and others are not. People who have serious changes in their memory, personality, and behavior may suffer from a form of brain disease called dementia. Dementia seriously affects a person's ability to carry out daily activities. Alzheimer's disease is one of many types of dementia.

7. NATIONAL INSTITUTES OF HEALTH
Depression: What Every Woman Should Know
Depression is a pervasive and impairing illness that affects both women and men, but women experience depression at roughly twice the rate of men.
