For many families, late summer ushers in the annual ritual known as "back to school." Dreaded by kids and celebrated by parents, the return to school marks a time of transition to more rigid schedules after a few months of fun and flexibility.
When we gather to celebrate Mother’s Day, give a special thought for the more than 4 million women across the United States who are living with a unique challenge: Alzheimer’s

Perhaps it comes as no surprise that nearly two-thirds of those caregivers are … you guessed it … women – sisters, daughters and, often, mothers themselves.
