Northwest Iowa — This is Alzheimer’s Awareness Month.
We talked to Lauren Livingston, who is the Communications Director for the Alzheimer’s Association’s Iowa chapter. She tells us November is a good time to have a conversation about Alzheimer’s.
The Alzheimer’s Association says Alzheimer’s is a type of dementia that affects memory, thinking, and behavior. Symptoms eventually grow severe enough to interfere with daily tasks. They say there is no cure, and it is not considered a normal part of aging. She says that unfortunately, there isn’t any strong research showing anything that can prevent the disease.
She tells us why you might consider giving to the Alzheimer’s Association.
