Growing number of Californians living with Alzheimer’s face unique holiday challenges

More than 720,000 Californians are living with Alzheimer’s disease. November is National Alzheimer’s Awareness Month. The holidays can present some unique challenges for people with the disease — and their families and caregivers. Dr. Han Lee, Chief Neurologist with Kaiser Permanente San Leandro spoke with KTVU about the issue, and explained why family gatherings shouldn't be avoided: seeing familiar faces can also be a restorative and comforting experience for Alzheimer's patients.
