The Reagans left the White House in January 1989, returning to their Bel Air estate in California, and Reagan continued her antidrug work under the auspices of the Nancy Reagan Foundation. After her husband was diagnosed with Alzheimer disease in 1994, she devoted all her time to caring for him and made very few political appearances. In 2000 she published I Love You, Ronnie: The Letters of Ronald Reagan to Nancy Reagan. In 2002 the Reagans were jointly awarded a Congressional Gold Medal. Following his death in 2004, she became an advocate for stem cell research because of its scientific promise in the treatment of Alzheimer disease.
