Whether it's a partner becoming a caregiver or an adult child shifting into being their parent's caregiver, these stories show how families evolve when a loved one is diagnosed.

Presentation: Understanding Alzheimer's and Dementia
After the film, stay for a special presentation from the Alzheimer’s Association about the impact of Alzheimer’s, the difference between Alzheimer’s and dementia, Alzheimer’s disease stages and risk factors, current research and treatments available to address some symptoms, and Alzheimer’s Association resources. Alzheimer’s is not normal aging. It’s a disease of the brain that causes problems with memory, thinking and behavior.
