NARFE May Together, we are making history in the fight against Alzheimer's disease! Clinical trial results for a drug called donanemab showed the strongest benefits of any Alzheimer's treatment research to date. And they provide hope — for those who could benefit and for all who join us in working toward a world without Alzheimer's and all other dementia. Thank you, NARFE members, for your help in this great accomplishment, for your contributions to our success in the past and for the achievements we will make together in the future.

Caregivers may have to assist with dental care A person living with Alzheimer's or another dementia may forget how to brush his or her teeth. Caregivers may have to take a more hands-on approach, as proper oral care is necessary to prevent eating difficulties, digestive problems and infections. Learn more.

Long-distance Alzheimer's caregiving can be challenging Many families are geographically spread apart and aren't always able to provide hands-on care for a person living with Alzheimer's or another dementia. Living at a distance can complicate caregiving, but our resources can help. Learn more.
