Memory Care
Recent research by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) has uncovered a concerning trend: veterans are twice as likely to develop dementia compared to the general population. This increased vulnerability stems from a combination of factors, including traumatic brain injuries and post-traumatic stress disorder, alongside the typical aging process. MemoryCare.com developed a comprehensive guide to memory care for veterans. This resource dives into the complexities of dementia and presents a range of treatment options, as well as highlighting various VA programs and resources. You can access the guide here
