“We shouldn’t confuse the need to treat the problem with the need to live and go through with our lives.” -dir. of @CharlesHouse_NC, a nonprofit that offers a support group for #caregivers of those with #dementia. @tommygoldsmith: northcarolinahealthnews.org/2… #NCGA #NCPol #NCHealth

Do you know about #SundownSyndrome? It's when people with #dementia get more aggressive, agitated, anxious, confused late in the day. #Caregivers learn about it the hard way, but support groups help them through. northcarolinahealthnews.org/2… #NCGA #NCPol #NCHealth pic.twitter.com/A62NMFmUj1

By 2030, ~300K NCians will have #dementia, which means a huge #caregiving army of children, partners, etc. Support groups help those caregivers deal with the day to day difficulties of loving someone who may not remember you. northcarolinahealthnews.org/2… #NCGA #ncpol #nchealth

Story by @tayknopf on how adding more of these programs, recommended by @NationalSheriff, can save lives: northcarolinahealthnews.org/2… #NCGA #NCPol #NCHealth pic.twitter.com/ki4LLBfC14
