  • Call 1-800-272.-3900 and speak to the care consultant who is part of a team who can provide you with more details and resources. 

How does the resource library work?

  • Our lending library is for those living in North Carolina who have Alzheimer's, their friends & families, and health professionals.  It is a free resource.

Losing My mind

 An Intimate Look at Life with Alzheimer's, Thomas DeBaggio records in heartbreaking detail an expereince that few have recounted and no one hopes to share:  the onset of Alzheimer's disease.  Diagnosed one beautiful spring day at the age of 57, longtime journalist DeBaggio initially viewed the condition as a death sentence, but also knew he had a story he ought to tell.  While keeping up his family-run herb and plant business, he began work on his new project immediately, writing in his journal to capture the personal angle and researching the latest scientific information on still poorly understood disease.  This book is the devastating result.
