There a few things harder than caring for a loved one struggling through the stages of dementia and memory loss. We'll get a first hand account of Alzheimer's and how it affected a prominent New Hampshire political family. Laura is joined by Ann McLane Kuster, a Concord attorney and author of The Last Dance: Facing Alzheimer's with Love and Laughter, and Dr. Robert Santulli, Director of the Memory Disorders Service in the Department of Psychiatry at Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center and the founder and director of a new organization, the Upper Valley Alzheimer's Disease Resource Center.
