Support for people with Alzheimer and their caregiver by the Alzheimer’s association
Alzheimer; News from the web:
From The Alzheimer’s Association:
The Alzheimer’s Association provides supportive programs and services to help people with Alzheimer’s and their caregivers deal with the disease and its impact on their lives. In the early stage of Alzheimer’s disease, families face brand new questions as they adjust. Alzheimer’s Association support groups not only provide answers, but offer a forum for individuals to talk about their experiences.
The Alzheimer’s Association, Central New York Chapter welcomes individuals in the early stages of Alzheimer’s disease or a related dementia and their caregivers to a monthly support group tailored to their needs. The group meets monthly on the fourth Friday at 10 a.m. at the Chapter’s Southern Tier office, 401 Hayes Ave., Endicott.
“The purpose of early-stage support groups is to provide a safe and supportive environment of peers who are living in the early stages of Alzheimer’s disease or a related dementia and their care partners,” said Catherine James, the Chapter’s chief executive officer.
Individuals seeking to take part in the group must be interviewed in advance by Alzheimer’s Association staff to determine whether they are appropriate to participate. Call (607) 785-7852 x119 to inquire.

Remember where you are going in space!
Alzheimer; News from the web:
Research has found that cosmic radiation, of the type you will get lots of when you head for Mars, can cause Alzheimer.
This is bad news as it may take some time to get to Mars and you would be exposed for a long time. The other side of the coin is that not many people will travel to Mars and not any time shortly so maybe we should save our research money to solve Alzheimer on Earth.
