The Alzheimer’s Association reported Ohio for having a total of 210,000 individuals, 65 and older, living with Alzheimer’s in 2017; this statistic is expected to reach 250,000 by the year 2025.
There is no cure for Alzheimer’s. Losing your memory and the ability to do everyday things is hard for the individual as well as their loved ones.
