Pathways is a labor of love written by Kae Hammond, a National Alzheimer's Association Ambassador and Certified Facilitator, a Family Caregiver Coach, and the Executive Director & Founder of Dementia Help Center in Southern California. Challenged to find the guidance she needed to help her family and care for her mother, Kae Hammond embarked on a quest to research, investigate and evaluate the vast amounts of information concerning these diseases.
