September 21 Is World Alzheimer's Day
September 21 Is World Alzheimer's Day
Right at Home of Central New Jersey
Continues to Advocate For and Support Efforts to Smash Out Alzheimer's!
The right people, doing the right things,
the right way, for the right reasons.
Right at Home.
World Alzheimer’s Day is a day on which Alzheimer’s organizations everywhere focus their efforts on raising awareness about Alzheimer’s and dementia.
Alzheimer's disease is the most common form of dementia and progressively erodes the brain’s abilities, taking memories away from patients as their brains gradually shrink.
Every 65 seconds, someone develops Alzheimer’s disease. At current rates, experts believe the number of Americans living with Alzheimer’s will quadruple to as many as 16 million by the year 2050.
When someone is diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease, it does not just affect them but affects their friends and family as well. It is painful to watch someone we love decline, suffering from a progressive disease that takes away their memories, limits their ability to live independently, and robs them of their social skills and cognitive thinking ability. And, worst of all, a disease for which there is no cure.
According to the Fisher Center for Alzheimer’s Research Foundation:
- 5.7 million Americans are living with Alzheimer’s.
- Alzheimer’s disease is the sixth-leading cause of death in the United States.
- Alzheimer's disease is the only cause of death among the top 10 in the United States that cannot be prevented, cured or even slowed.
Over our years of service to seniors we at Right at Home of Central New Jersey have seen the decline in so many of our clients who have suffered from Alzheimer’s disease or other forms of dementia. Because of that, we are particularly focused on doing what we can to find a cure and, as we have done in the past, are holding our Smash Out Alzheimer’s fundraising event on November 24, 2019 to raise funds for ending this awful disease.
Please join our Smash Out Alzheimer's Facebook group to keep up-to-date on all of our fundraising efforts and the Smash Out Alzheimer's event on Sunday, November 24.

June 21st Is the Longest Day for Alzheimer's Patients
Right at Home of Central New Jersey
Honors Alzheimer's Patients and Their Caregivers on June 21, the Longest Day
The right people, doing the right things,
the right way, for the right reasons.
Right at Home.
For an individual with Alzheimer’s, as well as their loving caregivers, every day is The Longest Day. The Longest Day is about love for those affected by Alzheimer's and for their families and caregivers.
Nearly 6 million people in America suffer from Alzheimer's and that number is projected to grow to 14 million by 2050. One in every three seniors dies experiencing some form of Alzheimer's disease and a new case is diagnosed every 65 seconds.
We at Right at Home of Central New Jersey consider it a privilege to be able to provide care and help to our clients with Alzheimer's and to provide respite care and support to their family members by having our caregivers work with their loved ones. We honor all of those with Alzheimer's and their family members and caregivers today and every day. We share the poem "Two Mothers Remembered" by Joann Snow Duncanson to remind us how we can care for our loved one with Alzheimer's.
I had two Mothers - two Mothers I claim
Two different people, yet with the same name.
Two separate women, diverse by design,
But I loved them both because they were mine.
The first was the Mother who carried me here,
Gave birth and nurtured and launched my career.
She was the one whose features I bear,
Complete with the facial expressions I wear.
She gave her love, which follows me yet,
Along with the examples in life she set.
As I got older, she somehow younger grew,
And we'd laugh as just Mothers and daughters should do.
But then came the time that her mind clouded so,
And I sensed that the Mother I knew would soon go.
So quickly she changed and turned into the other,
A stranger who dressed in the clothes of my Mother.
Oh, she looked the same, at least at arm's length,
But now she was the child and I was her strength.
We'd come full circle, we women three,
My Mother the first, the second and me.
And if my own children should come to a day,
When a new Mother comes and the old goes away,
I'd ask of them nothing that I didn't do.
Love both of your Mothers as both loved you.
