Partnership addresses Alzheimer’s challenges in LGBTQ community

The LGBTQ community faces unique challenges related to Alzheimer's and all other dementia, including access to inclusive health care providers, fewer adult children to call upon for assistance, stigma, and higher rates of poverty and social isolation. On our blog, Dan Stewart of the Human Rights Campaign (HRC) Foundation talks about the HRC’s partnership with the Alzheimer’s Association, which aims to provide the LGBTQ community with Alzheimer’s information and resources.

Alzheimer's may gradually diminish a person's ability to communicate

Communication with a person living with Alzheimer's or another dementia requires patience, understanding and good listening skills. We have strategies that can help caregivers and the person living with Alzheimer’s better understand each other.
