Every family deserves an advocate they can rely on during these pivotal moments.

It hits families and everyone effected without concern for someone’s career, race, religion, or wealth. Our hearts go out to Roger and his family. 💜

Roger Craig just stood in front of the world during his Hall of Fame speech and revealed something many families are afraid to say out loud: he's been diagnosed with vascular dementia.

Craig, 66, said his doctors believe the diagnosis is connected in part to concussions he sustained across his 11-year NFL career. In his own words, the changes were gradual, dismissed at first as normal aging, until his family noticed and pushed for answers.

He's part of a growing number of former athletes speaking publicly about brain health, and that visibility matters. Vascular dementia has historically gone unnoticed. Families dismissed the signs. Doctors missed them too. That's starting to change, with more doctors screening for it and more families asking the right questions sooner.

If you're caring for someone with Alzheimer's or dementia, the Medicare GUIDE Program was built for exactly this. It covers $2,600+ a year in respite care, a dedicated care navigator, and 24/7 support, all at no cost for eligible families with Medicare Parts A and B and a documented diagnosis.

Is your aging parent or loved one becoming more quiet, distant, or staying home more often? 🏠💔

Yes! 🙌

When Seth Rogen testified in front of Congress in 2014, there was no program like GUIDE. Families were left to figure out the financial strain of Alzheimer's on their own.

GUIDE is a Medicare program that includes a dedicated care navigator, up to $2,600+ a year in respite care, and 24/7 support access.

The $2,600+ figure is specifically for respite, a paid break for the caregiver, not a cap on the full cost of care. And it's only available when the person with dementia has Original Medicare, Parts A & B. Medicare Advantage plans aren't eligible.

$2,600 doesn't undo years of financial strain. But it's real support that didn't exist a decade ago, and we can help you find out if your family qualifies.

While Peter Gallagher was building his acting career, he spent more than 20 years as his mother's caregiver through Alzheimer's.

Nearly 13 million Americans are carrying that same weight today, on top of a job, a family, and everything else life asks of them.

If you're caring for someone with dementia on original Medicare, there's a program called GUIDE that can support you as a caregiver.

Chris Hemsworth has opened up about the most prominent change he’s made since learning he’s at high risk for Alzheimer’s disease. The actor, who discovered his genetic predisposition while filming season one of his National Geographic series "Limitless," said the adjustment wasn’t physical, but it’s something he now considers essential.

Hemsworth revealed that he’s started building stillness and solitude into his daily routine, a decision that came after realizing how constant stress could impact brain health. "I don’t want to be in a sprint anymore," the actor said, as he opened up about finding more time to spend with his loved ones.

"There’s good stress… and then there’s continual dumping of cortisol, which is negative. Being in that fight or flight state, which in this modern world, we tend to find ourselves in far too often and for prolonged periods," Hemsworth says. That understanding led him to step back from the nonstop pace he was used to. He described making a conscious effort to slow down and take control of his time and abate signs of cognitive decline. "I sort of pushed back a little bit on the sort of ride I was on, where I felt like I wasn’t in control. I was just being dragged along," he said. Learn more about this move, and its effects, below.
