Living with Alzheimer's Disease... | ||

Nametags are the first order of business upon arrival at the COPSA Institute Day Program in Piscataway. They serve as a gentle reminder of who is who. Each day the group is slightly different, because not everybody comes daily. Participants range from 60 to 96 years of age. Some are brought by family members, while others arrive via special buses. | |
Patients walk with mental health specialist Shannon Cupka. A stroll outdoors in sunny weather is excellent therapy and good exercise, too. Movement is an important part of treatment. |
 Alzheimer's disease affects sociability and personality. Some patients talk and socialize, while others sit quietly. |
