Battling dementia in her 30s

As a teenager, Jaime Bortz helped care for her father, who had Alzheimer’s at a young age. Now at 39 years old, her memories are slipping away, much like they did for her dad and two half-brothers. They inherited a rare gene mutation called PSEN1, making them part of the 1% of people with dementia who have early-onset familial Alzheimer’s.

Still, balance is key to Steinfeld. She also likes to watch Netflix’s “Peaky Blinders,” whip up Sunday morning pancakes, and spend time with loved ones. And she appreciates a good margarita.

Striking a balance between work and play.
