Video - Alzheimer's Statistics for 2019
With nearly 6 million Americans currently afflicted with Alzheimer’s and 18 million projected in the next 3o years, these statistics are frightening. 1 in 3 seniors will die with Alzheimer’s or other types of dementias.  Even if you are certain you will not be one of those how are afflicted with some sort of dementia, nor become a caregiver of someone that does, we should also be concerned that this will cost Americans almost $3oo billion in health care expenses
Statistic - Alzheimers is on the Rise
The number of deaths attributed to #Alzheimer’s disease continues to rise, while the number of deaths associated with other leading causes, such as heart disease, certain types of cancers, and stroke, have declined. So the cost of #dementia care on a national scale is growing (see histogram above).

Blog -  Tips and Ideas to Help with Sundowning
Here are some wonderful observations and insights on what sort of things aggravate or help to avoid 'sundowning' for those with some form of dementia.

Book - Being Mortal
Named a Best Book of the Year by The Washington Post, The New York Times Book Review, NPR, and Chicago Tribune, now in paperback with a new reading group guide
Medicine has triumphed in modern times, transforming the dangers of childbirth, injury, and disease from harrowing to manageable. But when it comes to the inescapable realities of aging and death, what medicine can do often runs counter to what it should.

Through eye-opening research and gripping stories of his own patients and family, Gawande reveals the suffering this dynamic has produced. Nursing homes, devoted above all to safety, battle with residents over the food they are allowed to eat and the choices they are allowed to make. Doctors, uncomfortable discussing patients’ anxieties about death, fall back on false hopes and treatments that are actually shortening lives instead of improving them.

In his bestselling books, Atul Gawande, a practicing surgeon, has fearlessly revealed the struggles of his profession. Now he examines its ultimate limitations and failures-in his own practices as well as others’-as life draws to a close. Riveting, honest, and humane, Being Mortal shows how the ultimate goal is not a good death but a good life-all the way to the very end.
