I wish Geri-Gadgets had been around for Mom. She wasn’t much of one for a doll or stuffed animal, but she did love things she could do with her hands. I talk to the inventor Angela Fairhurst about these perfect activity boxes for Alzheimer’s and other dementia patients on the latest podcast episode #survivingalzheimers.

Leading Naples, FL, neurologist and Alzheimer's researcher Dr. William Justiz has joined us at the beginning of every season. We are starting our third season with the first podcast we did with Dr. Willie about five years ago. We talk about what to do when there are family members or friends who refuse to accept what is happening.

Not much has changed since the first interview I did with Willie - there are better drugs now, but there is still no cause and no cure. So we continue the conversation until then...
