3 LTC community notes: UsAgainstAlzheimer's, NIA, Genworth

- The National Institute on Aging (NIA) is organizing a campaign to encourage people who provide care for people with dementia to take extra steps to prepare for disasters. 

In addition to taking the usual disaster planning steps, caregivers need to gather any supplies related to dementia care, such as copies of medications and a recent photo of the patient. 

Caregivers also should make sure they have ID bracelets for loved ones with dementia and have labeled clothes with names and contact information, to provide another means of helping authorities identify people with dementia who get separated from their caregivers.
