Most people don’t realize Alzheimer’s is just one of 100+ types of dementia—and that misunderstanding can change everything.
In Episode 2 of our Alzheimer’s Awareness Month series, Host Dawn Platt shares why knowing the specific type of dementia isn’t optional—it’s essential.
Hear how one woman’s misdiagnosis reshaped her entire care plan, learn the key differences between vascular dementia and Lewy body dementia, and discover how the right diagnosis can transform treatment and quality of life.
If you’re supporting a parent, spouse, family member, or friend, this conversation will expand your understanding and empower you to advocate with confidence. 💜
We are deeply thankful to our residents and staff members who have served our country. On this Veteran’s Day, we were proud to unveil our new “Wall of Honor” as a token of our gratitude.

With Veterans Day around the corner, we're sharing information that could change everything for families struggling to pay for dementia care.
In this week's episode, guest Suzette Graham, CEO of Patriot Angels, reveals a little-known VA benefit that millions of veterans and widows qualify for—but most have never heard of. We're talking thousands of dollars monthly to help cover memory care, assisted living, or home health costs.
From heartbreaking stories of sacrifice to surprising eligibility requirements, this conversation uncovers why so few veterans are accessing the support they've earned.
If you're caring for a veteran or military spouse with dementia, this is a must-listen.
