Beschreibung
At the time this book was written, the youngest person recorded with Alzheimers Disease was 28 years old. Since I learned about Alzheimers with my maternal grandmother suffering from and succumbing to the disease in the 1980s, the ages of Alzheimers patients have been steadily becoming younger and younger. In my mothers memory care unit was an educator who died of early onset Alzheimers at the age of 53. There is a new diagnosis of Alzheimers every 67 seconds and it is estimated that one in every three people in the United States will have Alzheimers by the age of 85. This disease lasts from 2 - 25 years. If this trend continues then every family in this country will be visited by Alzheimers and the affects on caregivers will also affect this nation. This book is both a personal story of a decade-long journey of caregiving as well as a call to arms for funding and research of this terminal disease.
