The following is a legend of abbreviations used throughout New LifeStyles.
Dealing with Alzheimer's can be
tough. But it doesn't mean you have
to forget about the joys of living.
If you or someone you love is suffering
from Alzheimer's, call the Alzheimer's
Association helpline for support,
understanding and information
day or night at 1-800-272-3900.
When it comes to Alzheimer's,
remember—you are not alone.
Make the first call to
1-800-272-3900
or visit www.alz.org.
Concept and design by Henry Russell Bruce –

Alzheimer's doesn't mean you forget how to smile.
