Hallmark  Hall of Fame will feature a TV film in which one of the main characters has  Alzheimer's on Sunday, December 2 (CBS).

Staring Sissy Spacek and Alfrie Woodward, it concerns a young orphan who is shuffled among foster families until she finally settles in with a lady she can really bond to.  As it turns out this new foster parent is suffering from Alzheimer's.

We can count on the Hallmark Hall of Fame to give us excellent dramas which the whole family can watch.  The Picture of Hollis Woods covers the subject matter of dementia with tenderness.
