Press Release
The Alzheimer's Reading Room (ARR) is the number one blog on the Internet for advice and insight into Alzheimer's disease(AD) and Dementia.
Unlike other Alzheimer's websites, ARR features real life situations and practical advice about how to deal with problems that are often faced by Alzheimer's caregivers.
On the Alzheimer's Reading Room, we discuss issues like: communication, wandering, incontinence, hygiene, patient symptoms, and what to expect as the disease progresses. We discuss all issues that are important to Alzheimer's caregivers. We provide specific insight, advice, and solutions based on real life experience.
Readers learns how to use this information through practical examples designed to improve the quality of life of the Alzheimer's patient and Alzheimer's caregiver.
Alzheimer's caregivers are often thrust into their role with little or no experience, training, or education about Alzheimer's disease. As a result, they are often overwhelmed and suffer from feelings of helplessness.
As someone with Alzheimer's who still remains somewhat functional, I find your works informative and right on target.
--Ronald M. Reisner, M.D.

This is a powerful and touching story. You are noble both for finding and utilizing these poignantly human strategies that work but also for sharing what you have learned with so many who need what you have to give.
--Anthony Polk, The Unruly Mob
There are many websites that provide information about Alzheimer’s, but I have been most impressed by the Alzheimer’s Reading Room.
No other site provides the varied content, and frequency that the Alzheimer’s Reading Room does.
Bob DeMarco does an excellent job of posting the latest medical information, as well as great techniques and resources when caring for a loved one afflicted with Alzheimer’s.
Bob’s personal experience, caring for his mother with Alzheimer’s, is the core of his work. He understands the questions, concerns, needs, frustrations, and joy of providing care. He is able to help families through education, information, and resources he finds important and helpful.
I highly respect his work and would recommend subscribing to the Alzheimer’s Reading Room. Anyone caring for a loved one or patients with Alzheimer’s and other Dementia’s will greatly benefit from the information provided.
--Angil Tarach, Owner/Director, Visiting Angels/ Ann Arbor
Most of all I find your words comforting in a world where I feel totally alienated. Despite the fact that I have friends with whom I can speak about my tiny shuttered life, it is not the same as speaking to someone who knows about "being the one" and "being abandoned".
--Pamela
If information and awareness are included in your goal list, you have fantastically succeeded with The Alzheimer's Reading Room. It is very impressive! On behalf of many readers, I would like to extend huge appreciation. Thank you so much for the time and effort you to exert sharing this information.
--Christy Griner Hulsey, Moon Dreams & Day Beams
Your webpage, your blog, the information you accumulate and disseminate -- all of it has been a lifeline for me for the past several years. You will not hear this enough, but please know that your efforts are appreciated every day. Thank you for being there for so many of us.
--Judy
Your lines: "Knowing that your loved one is going to forget simple things like how to brush their teeth, how to take a shower, and even how to eat is not a pleasant thought. The actual experience and feeling of helplessness cannot be described"
--were wonderful; I cried when I read them. Sometimes crying is good. It's sad, but it makes me feel something kindred to read what I'm feeling.
--Jessica
Thanks for all YOU are doing to support those of us who are currently caring for a loved one or have previously done so. Your site is AMAZING!
Judy Berry, LakeView Ranch
Bob DeMarco is a person who is not only a caregiver for his mother, but also helps many others online. In my many years of being both an Alzheimer’s caregiver and working with other Alzheimer’s patients and caregivers, I have never seen anyone give so much to the cause. The information on dementia/Alzheimer’s he posts on The Alzheimer’s Reading Room is up-to-date, informative, understandable and, at times, intriguing. He has answered questions professionals could not or wouldn't even listen to and given hope to many. As I, he is one who wants this disease of Alzheimer’s stopped—cured—not just put on hold. Thank you Bob for all the work and time you put into helping others, as you dedicate yourself to your mother.
--Rose Lamatt, author, "Just a Word" friends encounter Alzheimer's.
