Illinois residents want increased state funding for Alzheimer’s care: Survey
http://www.alzheimers-illinois.org/survey_results/2013/index.asp
A total of 736 Illinois residents from 64 counties recently participated in an online survey for the state’s Alzheimer’s Disease Plan, and the results are eye-opening.
The findings, which will be shared with the Illinois Department of Public Health, state that fewer than half of all survey respondents were familiar with programs and services offered by the state for those with Alzheimer’s and their families and an overwhelming 85% felt the state should spend more money funding programs that provide Alzheimer’s care.
These results are critical as they will guide recommendations put forth by the state’s Alzheimer’s Disease Advisory Committee. Comprised of Alzheimer’s experts, researchers, physicians and others, the committee is responsible for advising legislators and state agencies on Illinois’ response to the growing health crisis of Alzheimer’s disease.
