Sadly, the isolation created as a result of the shutdowns, has affected our loved ones with dementia greatly. Most outpatient memory care day programs across the country morphed into online programs or shut down altogether... & brains began shutting down as well. Please see article below in MedPage Today for more detail on this second epidemic. Thank you to San Diego neurologist, Dr. James Grisolia, for highlighting the Glenner Centers & the excellent work done by our team e...very day. All 3 Glenner Centers remain OPEN!
