NARFE June 2024 June is Alzheimer's & Brain Awareness Month, a global initiative to raise awareness, encourage action and create dialogue about Alzheimer's and all other dementia. We encourage you to get involved and invite you to take charge of your brain health, tell your story and wear and share purple — the color of Alzheimer's. We're so thankful to our NARFE partners for joining us in the fight against Alzheimer's and helping spread the word. The more people know about Alzheimer's, the more action we inspire.

Take action during Alzheimer's & Brain Awareness Month Worldwide, more than 55 million people are living with Alzheimer's or another dementia. During Alzheimer's & Brain Awareness Month in June, the Alzheimer's Association is encouraging all Americans to take charge of their brain health and to join us in the fight to end Alzheimer's and all other dementia.

Late stage of Alzheimer's can last from several weeks to several years As Alzheimer's advances, intensive, around-the-clock care is usually required, and the needs of the person living with the disease will change. During the late stage, a caregiver's role will focus on preserving quality of life and dignity. Learn more.

Understand available Alzheimer's and dementia treatments Exciting progress in Alzheimer's and dementia research is creating promising new treatments for people living with the disease. It is important to learn as much as you can about which drugs are available. Learn more.

Staying physically active may help prevent cognitive decline Physical activity is a valuable part of any overall body wellness plan and is associated with a lower risk of cognitive decline. Cardiovascular exercise will increase the blood flow to your brain and body, providing additional nourishment while reducing potential dementia risk factors such as high blood pressure, diabetes and high cholesterol.
