Over Thanksgiving in the month of November, Americans of all ages gather to celebrate family, togetherness and happy memories.
While there is much to be grateful about, holidays can be especially difficult for those whose minds are fading faster than they should or for those families and caregivers providing daily care to loved ones who have lost independence due to Alzheimer’s disease.
The month of November is also National Alzheimer’s Awareness Month and National Family Caregivers Month.
Americans aged 65 and older are the fastest-growing population in the country.

The disease not only physically taxes caregivers, but also poses significant financial health care costs to the nation.
