Top 5 AD Blogs

In the recently published article about online AD information, MNT reports that the company did a rigorous search for the top blogs known for helping those with AD and their caregivers and family members. The top 5 AD blogs were selected by MNT to help people with AD to access accurate online information in the sea of bombardment of data on the internet.  Alzheimer’s Universe was deemed by MNT to be one such reliable source of AD information. 

“Alzheimer’s blogs can help to prepare people with Alzheimer’s and their families for the road ahead,” MNT reports. “Blogs written by associations, people with Alzheimer’s, and caregivers of people with Alzheimer’s may help to support those living with Alzheimer’s and their families,” the MNT article points out.
