Memory Loss Videos
Memory Loss in the forties, fifties and beyond is a concern for millions of people.
According to an estimate from the Alzheimer’s Associaiton, there are currently 10 million Americans providing 8.5 billion hours of unpaid care to people with Alzheimer’s disease or other conditions that involve memory loss.
The National Institute on Aging/NIH collaborated with HBO Documentary Films in presenting THE ALZHEIMER’S PROJECT, an Emmy Award winning public health series including 4 feature and 15 supplemental films. We are pleased to credit the Alzheimer’s Disease Education and Referral Center, a service of the National Institute on Aging,* for the following enlightening videos. Grab a cup of Java or a glass of red wine (scientific studies indicate that red wine may contain memory boosting substances), and sit back and enjoy!
