Bonus Content

Have you ever looked at one of our DVDs and thought you’d like to have more information, or wanted to hear more from some of the video participants? Check out our new release Alzheimer’s, The 36 Hour Day – Moving to Assisted Living. A menu at the beginning of the DVD allows you to hear more from Dr. Rabins or Bob, the family caregiver. We think you’ll find this a great new feature.

Nancy Z. Fleming

On September 14, 20ll, Nancy Fleming died at Emeritus Towson Assisted Living. For the past three years, Nancy, her husband Bob Fleming and their daughter Kelly (plus grandchildren) have generously shared their world with our camera allowing us to document the progression of Alzheimer’s disease and its impact on the family. They've been featured in several productions released by the University of Maryland Video Press including: Alzheimer’s, The 36-Hour Day; Alzheimer’s, The 36-Hour day – Moving to Assisted Living; Bob and Nancy’s 36-Hour Day; and Bob and Nancy’s 36 Hour-Day - Moving to Assisted Living. Many people throughout the United States have gained hope and understandings about Alzheimer’s through these productions and through them, Nancy’s legacy will live on. The final sequel to this documentary will be released in 2012. Our sincere thanks to Fleming family.
