Talk With Your Family About Alzheimer's During Intergenerational Month

In 1987, Fountain Institute, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, was formed by Sandy Kraemer, a Colorado Springs attorney, to research intergenerational issues. The resulting research identified the need to set aside a time each year to focus on intentionally connecting generations to better communicate age-related gratitude and needs.

Why are we spotlighting this?  Health issues within the family can be stressful, and one of the most stressful can be Alzheimer’s.  Part of living well with Alzheimer’s is adjusting to your “new normal” and helping family and friends do the same. Knowing what to expect and what resources are available can make the process easier for you and those close to you.

We spoke with Anne Farley, Community Relations Director, and Deborah Taylor, Director of Marketing, at The Ganzhorn Suites Specialized Memory Care, about how important is it for families to discuss how they will prepare and handle a family member's dementia diagnosis and care.
