Every 66 seconds, someone in the US develops Alzheimer’s.
Alzheimer’s is the most common form of dementia, the 6th leading cause of death and the ONLY cause of death in the top 10 that is not preventable or curable. The Alzheimer’s Association estimates that there are approximately 5.3 million people in the U.S. with Alzheimer’s – 2/3 of those are women. Globally, the World Health Organization estimates approximately 36 million people have Alzheimer’s. These numbers will grow exponentially as the population ages.
About the Author: Tara Reed
My dad’s Alzheimer’s diagnosis in 2012 changed my life and became the beginning of a new business. The fact of the matter is, we had no idea WHY he was acting the way he was let alone how to respond to it. What I discovered changed our journey and can change yours too. It was the basis of this book which has helped hundreds of families and can help you too.
