Alzheimer’s Disease

Alzheimer’s is the most common type of dementia — a progressive brain disease that slowly destroys memory, thinking skills, and the ability to perform simple tasks. It begins gradually, often with forgetfulness or confusion, and becomes more severe over time.

Alzheimer’s not only affects the person living with it but also deeply impacts families and caregivers. While there’s no cure, early diagnosis and support services can help manage symptoms, prolong independence, and improve quality of life.

Did you know? More than 6 million Americans are living with Alzheimer’s — and the number is expected to double by 2050 as the population ages.

Chronic health conditions affect many seniors, but understanding them is the first step toward better health. Explore the details of these conditions to stay informed and take proactive steps in managing your well-being.
