At 79, Anna Nelson still lives alone, not far from her daughter, Jamie. But as Alzheimer’s disease begins to set in, how much longer can the fiercely independent Anna be relied on to live safely by herself, with only a daily visit from her daughter? This program follows Jamie as she attends an Alzheimer’s support group, tours residential care facilities, and finally sits down with her mother to consider assisted-living options for her final years. A Discovery Channel Production. (23 minutes)
