More than 6-million Americans are living with Alzheimer’s disease and over 11-million Americans provide unpaid care for people with Alzheimer’s or other dementias. Unfortunately, more than 80% of Americans know little or are not familiar with mild cognitive impairment which can be the early stages of Alzheimer’s. 1 in 3 seniors dies with Alzheimer’s or another dementia and it kills more people than breast cancer and prostate cancer combined.
