Description
Nearly 6 million Americans of all ages are living with Alzheimer’s dementia or related dementias (ADRD), and the prevalence is only expected to increase as our population ages (Gaugler, et al., 2019). Recent estimates indicate that ADRD may be moving from the sixth most common cause of death in older adults to the third, after heart disease and cancer (National Institute on Aging, [NIA] 2019). Currently there is no cure for Alzheimer’s disease or related dementias.
