Alzheimer's Blood Test Advancements

Could a simple blood test change the way we diagnose—and possibly treat—Alzheimer’s?

Big news dropped recently - CNN recently reported on an exciting new study showing that blood-based biomarkers—specifically levels of carnitine and acetyl-L-carnitine—could predict Alzheimer’s risk in women with up to 93% accuracy !!!

I’ve shared the link to the article: Alzheimer's Test Breakthrough: Blood Markers Offer New Hope

Why this matters:

• It could allow for earlier detection, long before symptoms fully set in
• It opens new doors for targeted therapies

For those of us working in senior care, this is more than just science—it's a glimpse into a better future. Earlier diagnosis could mean earlier support at home, longer independence, and a real shot at slowing the progression of disease.

‍️ As someone who's cared for hundreds of clients with dementia as well as thousands of patients, I'm thrilled to see research catching up to what we've long known on the ground: when we act early, we give families more time, more dignity, and more peace.
