More than five million Americans have been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease. That number is projected to reach 7.1 million by the year 2025 and 13.8 million people by 2050 Alzheimer’s costs the country more than $200 billion dollars every year, and that figure does not include the $216 billion of unpaid care provided by family and friends.
But anyone who has helped a loved one suffering from Alzheimer’s disease knows that it is nearly impossible to assign a purely monetary value to the care they have provided. How much would you charge for constantly riding an emotional roller coaster, or for watching a parent, spouse or sibling deteriorate day by day? What is the hourly wage for endless worry and heartbreak?
