Caregivers and Alzheimer’s Disease
Nearly six million people in the United States are living with Alzheimer’s Disease. This number is projected to rise to 14 million by the year 2050. The challenges of living with Alzheimer’s disease are difficult for patients, families, and caregivers—all having to navigate life as best they can to provide the best possible life for those affected by this horrific disease.
Recent controversies over caregiving reinforce how our nation must increase research funding to find a cure for Alzheimer’s disease and help those affected. The American Brain Foundation remains committed to doing everything in its power to raise support for research grants to help reach our vision of a world without brain disease.
