<br/><br/> "About 4.5 million Americans have Alzheimer's, and seven out of 10 live at home. Now, the vanguard of the largest generation in American history is approaching 60. The country, as never before, will have to deal with a variety of age-induced brain diseases--primarily Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and stroke. Alzheimer's is the leading cause of dementia. Stroke is the leading cause of disability. Parkinson's, which can cause both, already affects as many as 1.5 million Americans and will afflict one in 100 older than 60, and one in 200 older than 70. Some of the people who get those diseases will need around-the-clock professional care in nursing homes or other centers. But it is the others--those at home--who represent perhaps the greater challenge." (MILWAUKEE JOURNAL SENTINEL) This article explores the emotional and physical impact on family members who are caring for a loved one with Alzheimer's disease.
