Episode 15 Claire Corwin from the Alzheimer's Association of WNY offers support and resources for those living with Alzheimer's disease AND their Caregivers!

It's important that we break the silence and stop the stigma around this form of dementia and utilize the support groups available right here in our community.

Unaddressed depression impacts cognitive ability which tangles up the brain and can lead to an Alzheimer's diagnosis. Help is available.
