Of all the health issues that people fear, being diagnosed with Alzheimer’s Disease or dementia are high on the list. People do not want to lose their ability to live independently, and their family members don’t want that for them either. Unfortunately, the number of people who have been diagnosed with these conditions is on the rise in conjunction with the aging of the population, and the risk that you or your elderly loved one will be diagnosed with them goes up with each passing year. According to the Alzheimer’s Association, more than five million Americans live with Alzheimer’s today, by 2050 this number could rise as high as 16 million. Though there is no cure today for the disease, little you can do to prevent the onset of dementia, there are life care planning steps that you can take to protect your rights and help make things easier on yourself and your loved ones.
