This is the second of an eight part series on common myths of Alzheimer’s Disease.  These myths were originally provided by the Alzheimer’s Association.  Senior Solutions has memory care services available at three of our locations and we are committed to being an active part of the Alzheimer’s community.  We look forward to your feedback on this series.

Myth 2: Alzheimer’s disease is not fatal.

Reality: Alzheimer’s disease has no survivors. It destroys brain cells and causes memory changes, erratic behaviors and loss of body functions. It slowly and painfully takes away a person’s identity, ability to connect with others, think, eat, talk, walk and find his or her way home.
