We care every day. It isn't always easy, but we give of ourselves selflessly all year round. For this we should be proud. Thanksgiving is a day to give thanks. So on this day, I say thanks to all of the Alzheimer's caregivers around the world - You are accomplishing more each day than those around you might be imaging.
Did you know?
- 80 percent of those living with Alzheimer's or a related dementia are cared for at home.
- More than 15 million Americans care for someone with Alzheimer's.
- 40 percent of stay at home caregivers are men.
