One in nine Americans aged 65 and older are living with Alzheimer’s disease – that’s nearly 7 million Americans across the country and 236,200 in Ohio.

Disease-related costs can jeopardize a family’s financial security, and many families and caregivers make enormous personal and financial sacrifices.
