Thank you for posting this! Sadly, it wouldn't work for us as Beloved Dementor's various health providers twaddled around and refused to consider Alzheimer's for too long. But it is good news (albeit with some risks) for those in early stages.
That really sucks. Hopefully there will eventually be something to help in a useful time frame.
