No real information

The title of Thursday’s Voices guest column, “Providing hope/Help coming for dementia caregivers,” made me excited because of some family experience with Alzheimer’s disease. The author was obviously well-trained and knowledgeable about the issues, but, as usual in most pieces touting upcoming progress in this or that, it seemed there was no real information of any substance offered. As usual, there were group discussions, committees formed, the same cookie-cutter lingo as that offered by almost every bureaucrat. Hope? Very little. Help? None. I would love to hear someone use active verbs to replace some of those nebulous phrases like “exploiting infrastructure.” Tell us what, when, where, and how to even access the unnamed “infrastructure,” please!
