dementia

Most of the time I write about voting issues, but today I want to let you know about a bill meant to help our vulnerable elderly and the people who care for them.

Please ask your Representative to sign on as a co sponsor of HB 91, a bill to help the caregivers of persons suffering from dementia. I've personally been the primary caregiver for my elderly Mother since the late 90's and still am today.
