Dementia ad during Lions-Packers game

It was so moving. It was during the very early stages of the game airing today. If you know what I'm talking about can you give me a reference or link to that commercial?
I've googled it and found other vids but not that one with the old lady.

I watched the whole game but I’m having trouble remembering

Dementia ad during Lions-Packers game
I saw it, but I don't recall what company it was. Daughter of woman with dementia takes her around town to see where she was born, her high school and the drive-in theater where she first kissed dad. That's all I've got.

I saw it but I can honestly say I have no idea what they were selling as I was too caught up in the message. My Mom had dementia and Alzheimer’s, so it really hit home.

Thanks for the responses
It might not have been for a product.
I'm so sorry for those of you having to have endured that with a close loved one.

Big L, you are correct! Thanks. I can only come up with a pic though - no vid.

Yes, and no.
Yes, for the family, without a doubt. No, at least not always for the person with the disease. Sure, they can often have moments of clarity and see their demise for the time they are lucid, but at some point in the disease, they do reach a "peaceful" place and find a new balance in the later journeys of the disease and life.
Don't get me wrong, it absolutely sucks, and I pray that one day there is a cure.
My mom has vascular dementia, and I have over 10 years dealing with dementia for hundreds of families.

my dad had it, he seemed so troubled and tormented over the last few years, I honestly believe it was his will to live and hopes that he would "get better," he did reach a peaceful place towards the end, briefly recognized my mom and sister, and the pained look on his face went away and I believe he accepted it, the docs did tell me that there was more lucidity in the person's mind than is apparent, and that hurt me even worse

Check their website. There was a note at the bottom of the commercial that said to visit website for the whole story. I guess there is a longer version.

And you would be incorrect about that. My mom had dementia and I had an older sister who died of cancer several years ago. My mom would ask me about her dying and I would have to tell her yes it’s true. She would get very emotional and cry. Fifteen minutes later she would ask me the very same question and the results were the same. Your peaceful state conjecture is completely false and dementia doesn’t fit in your cozy little box. She also dealt with sundowners syndrome also which was hard to deal with. I’m glad that she’s no longer having to go through any of that anymore as she passed a few years ago. It is tough to see your parent go through that

did I read that right? an old Chevy Suburban is the cure?

Yep, just watched it. Rough.
