New Blood Test for Alzheimer’s: What It Means for Homeowners, Families, and Future Planning in Staten Island

A New Chapter in Alzheimer’s Detection

For decades, detecting Alzheimer’s disease required expensive and invasive procedures — spinal taps or PET brain scans — often delaying diagnosis until symptoms became severe. But a new scientific breakthrough is changing that.

Two recently approved blood tests, Lumipulse (from Fujirebio Diagnostics) and Elecsys pTau 181 (from Roche Diagnostics and Eli Lilly), now allow doctors to assess potential Alzheimer’s cases through a simple blood sample.

According to a Katie Couric Health report, these tests could revolutionize how early Alzheimer’s is identified, giving families precious time to plan, seek treatment, and make life decisions — including those involving their home, finances, and long-term care.

What Makes These Tests So Important

The Elecsys pTau 181 test, recently cleared by the FDA, measures abnormal tau proteins linked to Alzheimer’s. It helps doctors evaluate whether cognitive symptoms — such as memory loss or confusion — could be due to Alzheimer’s disease.

The Lumipulse test, which analyzes both amyloid-beta and tau proteins, was an earlier step forward in the same diagnostic direction. Together, they represent a major leap toward accessible, non-invasive testing.

These tests are not for everyone — they’re meant for adults 55 and older who are already showing cognitive symptoms — but they’re a powerful tool for confirming diagnoses earlier and more accurately.

Early diagnosis means better care, better decision-making, and crucially — more control.

Why This Matters for Staten Island and Brooklyn Homeowners

For many families across Staten Island and Brooklyn, Alzheimer’s doesn’t just affect health — it impacts life planning.
When memory loss or cognitive decline begins to appear, families are often forced to make emotional and financial decisions quickly:

• Should we downsize or move closer to family?

• Should we sell the home to fund care?

• How can we protect our loved one’s estate or inheritance?

That’s where planning ahead — both medically and financially — becomes so important.

At Your Home Sold Guaranteed Realty Advisors LLC, we believe that real estate should provide peace of mind, not stress.
We specialize in helping families manage transitions — from selling an inherited home to downsizing or relocating — with guaranteed systems that eliminate uncertainty.
