Dear John,
With the constantly evolving COVID-19
pandemic, we recognize that these days are filled with uncertainty and
stress - our hearts are with each and every one of you. For
those impacted by Alzheimer's and other dementia, this time can feel
overwhelming. In crisis, community can play a critical role. I want to
assure you that the well-being of our Alzheimer's Association
community is paramount to us. Today, like every day, we remain
dedicated to serving all those impacted by Alzheimer's and other
dementia.
We continue to be available 24 hours a
day for those affected by Alzheimer's and other dementia. We're
closely monitoring all developments surrounding COVID-19, and we're
here to provide you with support, information and resources.
A common concern is how COVID-19 may
affect people living with Alzheimer's or other dementia. Most likely,
dementia does not increase risk for COVID-19, the respiratory illness
caused by the new coronavirus, just like dementia does not increase
risk for flu. However, dementia-related behaviors, increased age and
common health conditions that often accompany dementia may increase
risk. For example, people with Alzheimer's disease and all other
dementia may forget to wash their hands or take other recommended
precautions to prevent illness. In addition, diseases like COVID-19

and the flu may worsen cognitive impairment due to dementia.
We've developed tips for dementia
caregivers at home and for families with individuals in assisted
living. In addition, if you're a caregiver, we have

recommendations to help keep yourself healthy.
