The Urgency of Our Mission
In the U.S. approximately 5-10% of the population aged 65 and older has AD. In Wisconsin,
this number is expected to increase by 58% from 103,000 to 163,000 persons over the next 25 years.
19 million Americans say someone in their family has the disease.
50% of persons with AD are undiagnosed and therefore, untreated.
Families delay seeking help for almost three years after the onset of cognitive symptoms.
50% of nursing home residents have AD or a related disorder.
Family and friends provide almost 75% of home care. Costs
for at-home care average $12,500 each year with families paying
almost the entire cost out-of-pocket.
