Alzheimer's Disease and Related Dementias

Alzheimer’s disease is the most common form of dementia, a general term describing loss of memory and other cognitive abilities serious enough to affect daily functioning. As many as 5.3 million Americans have a diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease - a progressive and fatal brain disease.

We invite you to explore the resources on this page about Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias. We also encourage you to access the peer-to-peer exchange if you would like to post a question or comment for response from other website users.

States serve a substantial number of people with dementia and their family caregivers in their Aging Networks and LTSS systems. Serving this population effectively involves accommodating the needs of a population that, in addition to memory loss, experiences a variety of physical, cognitive, and behavioral symptoms resulting from dementia, along with other medical conditions. In model dementia-capable systems, programs are tailored to the unique needs of people with Alzheimer’s disease or other dementias, and their caregivers.
