Emory Program Offers Cognitive Support for Early-Onset Dementia Patients
Andrea Lucas, a 61-year-old Atlanta resident diagnosed with early-onset dementia, found stability through Emory University’s Cognitive Empowerment Program (CEP). The six-month therapeutic initiative focuses on five areas to help patients maintain cognition and functioning. With Georgia projecting a 26.7% increase in dementia cases from 2020 to 2025, program directors advocate for wider access to similar resources statewide. Emory offers online webinars that replicate the program's methods for those unable to attend in person.
