Over five million people in the United States are living with Alzheimer’s. Most of the care associated with this disease falls on the shoulders of unpaid caregivers: families and loved ones who need support and answers to the challenges they face, said officials.
The Alzheimer’s Association is partnering with Hospice of Chattanooga to help provide support and education.
“In response to the needs of the community we are pleased to continue our education series on caring for a loved one with Alzheimer’s or dementia,” stated Amy French, manager of programs for the local Alzheimer’s Association. “The Alzheimer’s Association is here to help. Our programs help provide the support and the answers needed to manage this disease and maintain quality of life.”
