Patients
with Alzheimer's Disease Alzheimer's Disease is a progressive and irreversible neurological disorder that affects the areas of the brain involved in thinking, memory, and behavior. It is characterized by an accumulation of plaques and tangles in the brain, which lead to memory loss, confusion, and a decline in other cognitive functions. It is estimated that more than 5 million people in the United States are currently living with Alzheimer's Disease. As there is currently no cure, treatment and support strategies focus on improving quality of life for those with the condition and their caregivers. These strategies include managing symptoms, improving daily functioning, and providing support for the individual and their family.
