OUR STORY
We are a caring small family business that has suffered through the emotional journey of researching and navigating the road to dealing with Alzheimer’s and its effect on our family and loved ones, as our father suffered through this devastating disease.
It is our goal and desire to share with you all that we discovered, the incredible professionals who guided us and the lessons we have learned along the way including some humorous stories of real events that will hopefully put a smile on your face.
Alzheimer’s disease is life-changing for both those who are diagnosed and those close to them. This website provides a place to connect with other people who truly understand what you are going through.
Our mission is to create a safe place for caregivers, family and friends of persons with dementia to meet and develop a mutual support system.
We aim to reach millions of people affected by dementia across the globe. Together, we can change the future of Alzheimer’s.

A person with dementia can feel like they’re spiraling out of control, struggling to hold tight to the memories and basic capacities that make them whole and functional. Meanwhile, you watch the person you once knew slowly slip away, wishing there was something… anything… you could do.
