We care about caregivers. – Alzheimer’s

Caring for someone with Alzheimer’s can be overwhelming, so we want to take this opportunity to remind caregivers to take care of themselves. Last year alone, more than 15 million caregivers provided an estimated 17.9 billion hours of unpaid care to family and friends living with Alzheimer’s — a contribution to the nation valued at $217.7 billion.
