    This is a front page story in our local newspaper. Describes how many agencies usually aren't prepared to treat AD. Putting a dementia patient in with the general psych population doesn't work. I have e-mailed the writer and asked to share information about my husband's three psych admissions and how bad they were. Yes-when in a violent crisis situation something must be done-but not to the detriment of the patient. If I hear back I will let you know.

    I got an instant response from the reporter. She knows Joan and our website. We will share information and see where it goes. Every time we get the word out something good will come of it.

    bluedaze, you GO, girl! The importance of educating the general public, not to mention health care providers, cannot be overstated.
