The Book Of Alzheimer's

The Book of Alzheimer’s is a resource guide for congregations serving African Americans who desire to help families and individuals cope with Alzheimer’s. According to the Alzheimer’s Association African Americans are two to three times more likely than whites to develop dementia. More than 5 million people in the United States have Alzheimer’s and this number is expected to double by the year 2030. It is now estimated that one out of every nine persons over the age of 65 is living with Alzheimer’s. The Book of Alzheimer’s is a road map for providing compassionate support to persons living with Alzheimer’s and their caregivers.
