Just Like My Mom, I'm A Fighter.
Like so many others, I lost a loved-one to dementia and cancer. My mother, Anne, died when I was just 33. I know firsthand that cancer and dementia are awful diseases. As caregivers, spouses or children, we often feel helpless to these incurable conditions. But, we can do something. We must improve home care programs and access to skilled-nursing facilities for low-income seniors. We must also work to protect seniors with dementia from financial exploitation.
