Matter of Mind: My Alzheimer's

Matter of Mind: My Alzheimer’s is an intimate portrayal of three families confronting the unique challenges of Alzheimer’s and how this progressive neurodegenerative disease transforms roles and relationships. Whether it’s a partner becoming a caregiver or an adult child shifting into being their parent’s caregiver, these stories show how families evolve when a loved one is diagnosed.

As Americans enjoy longer and longer lives and as medicine is becoming better at treating so many of the illnesses and ailments that come with aging, more of us will suffer from neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s. Over 8.1 million Americans are living with neurodegenerative disease, a number that is expected to increase dramatically in the coming years as the U.S. population ages.

Join us to see three moving family stories about this disease and talk with experts from the Alzheimer's Association of Northern California & Nevada.
