One in three seniors die with Alzheimer’s or another dementia and currently, over 55 million people worldwide have Alzheimer’s. A person can live for many years with this disease and there are different care needs they will have during their Alzheimer’s illness.

The options for paying for long-term care are limited and we will discuss ways to plan to protect yourself.
