About

Alzheimer's affects thousands of New Zealanders and their families, a neurodegenerative disease impacting memory and thinking. This episode of the community-driven series Open Door shares the personal stories of individuals at various stages of the illness, from a woman with early-onset Alzheimer's preparing for her future, to those in later stages making lifestyle adjustments, and a widow reflecting on her husband's experience. Together, they reveal the emotional and practical challenges faced by both individuals and their caregivers, while offering insights into living life to the fullest despite their diagnosis.
