Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) is the most common of the dementing disorders, affecting as many as 4 million Americans. AD is a progressive, degenerative disease that attacks the brain and results in impaired memory, thinking, and behavior. As with all dementias, the rate of progression in AD patients varies from case to case. From the onset of symptoms, the life span of a patient can range from 3 to 20 years, with and average of 8. The disease eventually leaves its victims unable to care for themselves. Many families are left struggling with how to cope with and care for their loved ones. That's why it is so important for you to become involved with a group of people who care and will be there for you.
