Bob DeMarco Alzheimer's

Welcome to the Bob DeMarco weblog. I am the Bob DeMarco that worked on Wall Street and was born and raised in Philadelphia.

Sharecare put a link to this page on their website so you might have come over from there.

I am now spending most of my time as Founder and Editor of the Alzheimer's Reading Room (ARR). You may want to jump over there for information about Alzheimer's disease or a related dementia.

We have over 3,500 articles on Alzheimer's in the knowledge base on the ARR. Look for the search box on the right hand side of every page to find the best information currently available on the Internet.

If you are having problems with Alzheimer's patients we have lots of advice and potential solutions  to those problems.

We also have an active community of commentors that are very helpful.

You see, I live in a community where there are a lot of people over 80 years old. Simple statistics tell me that one in every three will suffer from dementia. If they live long enough, one in every two.

Learning How to Communicate with Someone Suffering From Alzheimer's Disease

As I thought about this I came to a simple conclusion. Instead of trying to change Alzheimer's World, instead of trying to fight Alzheimer's World, not only would I accept Alzheimer's World as a reality, I would go into Alzheimer's World and learn how to communicate effectively...

Earlier today, Carole Larkin published an interesting article -- How the Loss of Memory Works in Alzheimer’s Disease, and How Understanding This Could Help You.

To start, I am a curious person. So, when I want to know more about something I really dig in. Take it apart and put it back together.

I'm fortunate in two ways. I picked great parents, and God and my parents blessed me with an ability to read fast, and absorb information.

My brain is wired to view everything as a system. This allows me to see all the parts when I encounter something new, or when I am trying to figure things out.
