If you're
caring for an aging family member or friend,
that suffers from Alzheimer's disease,
dementia or other memory impairment, you
are not alone!
We have been helping patients,
caregivers and families suffering from Alzheimer's
disease, dementia or other cognitive impairments for
almost 18 years!
Consider the following:
-
Nearly six million individuals in the
United States and Canada alone have
Alzheimer's disease or a related
dementia - a number that is expected to
reach nearly 20 million in the next five
decades.
- Nearly a quarter
(23.9%) of U.S. households are now
involved in caring for an elderly family
member or relative, spending an average
of 20 hours a week in caregiving related
activities.
- Some 80% of
caregivers provide unpaid assistance
seven days a week.
- More than 60% of
all family caregivers say they have
suffered from depression.

As a family caregiver, your time may
be severely limited. It's easy for
caregivers to be consumed by the
day-to-day tasks and complexities of
caring for someone else. Feeling of
isolation may set in. It's far
easier than you think to lose sight
of the fact that help is out there.
