Corcoran's mother, Florence, was diagnosed with Alzheimer's in her late 60s. About eight months ago, Corcoran finally saw a doctor to evaluate her own risk for dementia. There, Corcoran loved watching the systems at Florence created to keep the home and the children organized. Advertisement"I was admiring her with the systems," Corcoran said. Corcoran paid one of her sisters — who lived nearest Florence — to quit her job and become their mother's caretaker.
