Chapter Notes

Veteran Memory Care Resource: A recent National Institute of Health study found that veterans are twice as likely to develop dementia. Aside from the normal aging process, traumatic brain injuries and post-traumatic stress disorder make veterans more vulnerable to dementia than the general population. To help veterans and their families, a useful guide to memory care can be found at https://www.memorycare.com/veterans/. The resource goes over dementia in detail and shares treatment options as well as available VA programs and resources.
