Woman volunteers, advocates to honor husband
|
When Judy Johnson's husband, Steve, was diagnosed with younger-onset Alzheimer's in 2011, she reached out to the Alzheimer's Association for guidance. Finding the resources and help that she needed, Johnson became more involved, including volunteering, advocating for the cause and participating in The Longest Day®.

We have tips to help prevent agitation, such as moving the person to a safer or quieter place, or offering rest or privacy.
