Alzheimer’s is one of the fastest-growing health concerns in the U.S., but many families still miss the early signs—reducing the chances for early care, planning, and support.
Why Early Detection Could Make All the Difference
In the U.S., more than 6 million people live with Alzheimer’s disease, but early symptoms like forgetfulness, confusion, or repeating stories are often overlooked or dismissed. Many families wait until the condition has progressed significantly before seeking help, limiting treatment options and straining caregiving resources. Early detection not only helps manage symptoms but also opens the door to new treatments, support programs, and clinical trials. With growing access to memory clinics and screening tools covered by Medicare, acting early could give families more time, control, and peace of mind.
