Gatherings, decorations, and changes in routine can sometimes feel overwhelming for someone living with Alzheimer’s. A little preparation can help create a smoother experience for you and your loved one. 🎄✨

Try choosing familiar spaces, keeping schedules as steady as possible, and adjusting gatherings to shorter or quieter formats. Simple steps like labeling rooms, reducing noise, or offering a calm space to pause can help maintain comfort throughout the day.

Alzheimer’s Texas and the DKR Fund encourage caregivers to approach this season with flexibility and to make choices that support both your loved one and yourself.

As families gather this season, it is natural to notice changes in memory, communication, or daily routines and wonder what is part of typical aging and what may point to something more.

A recent blog, Spotting the Difference: Typical Aging or Alzheimer’s?, takes a deeper look at these early signs and offers guidance from Helpline Specialist Austin McKee, LMSW. Understanding these distinctions can help families feel more prepared, more supported, and more confident in knowing when to seek additional help. 🧠

Dr. Huda Zoghbi, M.D., is an internationally recognized neuroscientist whose groundbreaking work has transformed our understanding of brain disorders.

Her perspective is clear: research is the key to unlocking treatments, prevention, and ultimately a cure for Alzheimer’s and dementia. That is why the DKR Fund and Alzheimer's Texas are dedicated to advancing this mission throguh the creation of the Dementia Prevention Research Institute of Texas (DPRIT).

When we invest in science, we invest in hope. Early voting is underway through October 31. Join the DKR Fund and Alzheimer's Texas and vote YES on Amendment 14. This vote will position Texas as the national leader in dementia prevention and research.

10/27/2025

Amendment 14 will ensure permanent, dedicated funding for Alzheimer’s and dementia research through the Dementia Prevention and Research Institute of Texas (DPRIT).

Why does this matter? More than 400,000 Texans are living with Alzheimer’s today — a number projected to nearly double within 20 years 📈. Despite this growing crisis, research has long been underfunded, leaving families without answers and caregivers without adequate support.

DPRIT will change that by making Texas a national leader in brain health — driving prevention, accelerating treatments, and delivering discoveries that bring hope to future generations.

Early voting is happening now through October 31. Vote YES on Amendment 14 alongside DKR Fund and Alzheimer’s Texas to ensure this vision becomes reality for families across Texas.

10/15/2025

The fight against Alzheimer’s and dementia cannot be won with short-term solutions. Progress requires stability, leadership, and a permanent commitment to research.

That is what Amendment 14 delivers. By creating the Dementia Prevention and Research Institute of Texas (DPRIT), Texas will guarantee that prevention and discovery remain a state priority — protected from shifting budgets and changing agendas.

DPRIT is not just another program. It is a promise that families will have access to groundbreaking science, dedicated leadership, and a clear path forward in the fight against dementia.

🗳 Early voting begins October 20. Join the DKR Fund and Alzheimer’s Texas in voting YES on Amendment 14 and help secure lasting progress for Texas families.
