Estimated 5 million people in the U.S. with AD/RD◦ The number of people in the U.S. over age 85 is growing; thus,
experts expect a substantial increase in the number of people with AD/RD.
Estimated annual costs to health and long-term care systems for caring for people with AD/RD: $109 billion, most of which is LTC
Estimated costs of care by family and friends◦ Foregone wages: $50 billion◦ Paying for this care in the private market would cost over $106
billion

Currently there is no way to prevent, treat or cure AD/RD.
Better quality of care measures and staff training are needed.

Stigmas and misconceptions are widespread.
Public and private progress should be coordinated and tracked.
