Alzheimer’s Notes

Alzheimer’s Word of the Week

by Mary Emma Allen on September 19th, 2008

Over at One Book Two Book, my co-blogger, Marcie, posts a word of the week and a quote of the week.  Since Alzheimer’s terms sometimes aren’t understood by everyone, I thought I’d begin this practice here.

Dementia - This is a broad general term given to someone who experiences memory impairment severe enough that it affects or interferes with daily functioning.  Dementia has a variety of causes and isn’t always caused by Alzheimer’s.
