Memory Matters discusses the science behind memory care. Whether you're worried about memory loss, taking care of someone with dementia, or working in the field, Memory Matters will bring you the latest knowledge on how we can best treat dementia and deliver care to those who have it.

Today on the show we're doing something a bit different. As we wrap up 2023, we want to recap some major advancements in dementia care that happened this year. We'll touch on:

• The FDA's approval of Lecanemab, the first and only FDA-approved medication shown to slow down the development of Alzheimer's

• President Biden's Executive Order on Increasing Access to High-Quality Care and Supporting Caregivers

• Notable people whose families have been public about their loved one's dementia diagnosis

We know it can be challenging to care for a loved one with dementia during the holidays, so we want to wish you all a happy holiday season, while acknowledging that your holidays may look different this year. We look forward to digging into more dementia topics with you in the new year.
