Alzheimer's is a dreadful disease that affects nearly 50% of people over the age of 85. So as the population ages and lives longer than past generations, many families will be faced with a new issue that their parents did not have to face. The baby boomer generation currently has to worry about the care of their aging parents with Alzheimer's.

As the population ages, there is a steady increase of the number of seniors with Alzheimer's and mild cases of dementia. And while Alzheimer's disease is the 6th leading cause of death in the United States, it typically is a prolonged disease. This typically means that caring for somebody with Alzheimer's can be a long term commitment.

With an overwhelming amount of Alzheimer's care options in California it can be daunting trying to find the best care option for a loved one. "Most families just do not know where to begin," says Harriman, "but we are here to help."
