The Alzheimer's Association is aware of the difficulties faced by the family and caregivers of a person affected by Alzheimer's. Without the right resources and support, these difficulties often get worse with time.

That is why we present What is Happening to Grandpa?, a "fotonovela" that tells the story of a Latino family going through the phases of awareness, treatment and care of a very close family member who has Alzheimer's.

This story offers practical suggestions ranging from recognizing the signs of Alzheimer's to identifying medical and emotional support. If this fotonovela helps families understand the personal impact of Alzheimer's disease, we have met our goal.
