The national tab for caring for individuals with Alzheimer's disease is estimated at well over $100 billion annually, and worldwide over $ 350 billion annually.
Alzheimer's disease costs U.S. businesses more than $60 billion a year, stemming from lost productivity and absenteeism by primary caregivers, and insurance costs.
The annual cost of caring for one individual with Alzheimer's disease ranges from nearly $18,800 to more than $39,000, depending on the stage of the disease.
Mary Joseph Foundation:

Experiencing Alzheimer's Disease:
I saw my mother suffered for over seven years with Alzheimer's disease in difference stages from getting lost and packing bags with sugar, rice, raw chicken, raw meat and threw all in a old bag with some of her clothes and saying she is leaving, to acting like a little school girl, then seeing her sick down in bed and can't move and groaning and later in the hospital with tubes in her nose, I remember many nights and days I and my sisters cried to see our mother who was so kind, giving and loving especially to others going through this sickness, to see some one you really love going through this sickness that the Doctors call Alzheimer's disease especially you own mother who you really love, then in December 1998 after six weeks in Clara Mass Hospital in Belleville NJ my mother past it was not a good experience to see my mother suffering then later pasting. In 1992 we made promise to our mother to help others especially to those who do not have anything and homeless or in mental disturb homes. In the 90s I lost two cousins and my mother to Alzheimer's disease. We are here to help and all of the Donations are going toward taking care of the people who need it most because we were there and it touch, move us and we feel it and experience it and we are now sharing it with others in a loving way.
