Guest Speaker: Leo LeBlanc

Leo, spoke about the challenges of living with a person with Alzheimers.  Often the early signs are not readily recognized, it can strike at any age, it is more prevalent in the female population, in most cases there is no cure, just a continuing deterioration, there are changes in personality (aggressiveness, blaming). While the disease is hard on the person with the illness…it can be very hard on the partner and other family members, they too should have psychological counselling. In today’s age there is much better care when an individual is in a specialty care unit where care givers are trained specifically in caring for people with Alzheimers.
