Caregiver Angela describes her mother as a "free spirit." But when her mother got lost driving with her grandaughter in the car, Angela got scared. A dual diagnosis of Parkinson's and dementia made caring for Mom alone difficult. Upon entering Genesis HealthCare and having her medications reviewed and adjusted, Angela's mother "blossomed like a flower." It takes a village to care for our loved ones with dementia. We thank Genesis HealthCare, our chapter's Walk local presenting sponsor, for joining us in caring for our families and helping find Alzheimer's first survivor. #Walk2EndAlz #ENDALZ My Genesis HealthCare
