What Do Researchers want

Written By Judy King

What Researchers say they want, they need:

To make findings public.

  • For the public to understand the process. Sometimes a hopeful medicine turns out to not work, good (not bad) now they know what doesn’t work.

  • For the public to understand Alzheimers is different than other infectious diseases. Example: chicken pox, polio – as each infectious disease has a cause, a specific infectious agent leading to one outcome. Alzheimers has several and perhaps many causes.

  • Eliminate the influence of other factors.


What Dementia IS NOT:

A natural part of Aging! Not caused by specific identifiable diseases.

  • A Diagnosis is important to identify treatable conditions.

  • A proper diagnosis is important in the management of diseases that at present are not curable.

I believe we can help by supporting research and providing information to the research facilities that will enable them to better develop treatments and hopefully one day a cure! Will you help by participating in studies or research?

Welcome to Arms of Grace Respite Care, llc. My name is Judy, and I am deeply passionate about supporting care partners who walk the challenging yet rewarding path of caring for someone living with Alzheimer’s or other dementia. With over 16 years as a business owner and a lifetime of varied experiences, I’ve cultivated a heart-centered approach to care that emphasizes compassion, understanding, and empowerment.

My journey has been shaped by firsthand experience with conditions such as Parkinson’s, primary progressive multiple sclerosis, spinal cord injury, Alzheimer’s, and common geriatric issues.

To better serve care partners, I pursued CNA training and furthered my education through Teepa Snow’s Positive Approach to Care, which provides invaluable insights into brain changes in those living with Alzheimer’s. I remain committed to staying informed, reading current research on Alzheimer’s disease weekly, and volunteering at an assisted living community I previously worked at. I provide a Chair exercise program that promotes Neuroplasticity. It is named Ageless Grace(timeless fitness for the body and brain).

Beyond my professional life, I am a wife, mother, grandmother, and someone who finds joy in the outdoors, crafting, and helping others. I am here to guide you with compassion and practical tools to navigate the complexities of caregiving. Together, we can ensure that you and your loved one feel supported every step of the way.
