The Alzheimer's epidemic is upon us, and we can only face it together!
Did you know someone in the United States develops Alzheimer's disease every 65 seconds? In fact, it has already become the 7th leading cause of death in New Jersey (and the 4th for women). By 2050, the number of people with dementia is expected to grow to 29.5 million, double that of today.
When a person affected by dementia lives in poverty, their future is out of their hands and they are at an increased risk of injuries, homelessness, and premature death. Act Now Foundation addresses these issues by providing its services at no cost, including:
- Cognitive Assessments: Early diagnosis allows individuals to make their own end-of-life decisions (part of the Alzheimer's Early Detection Project).
- Long-term Care Planning: We help individuals develop a care plan for their entire journey with the disease (part of the Alzheimer's Care Project).
- Education Programs: For family and professional caregivers, and older adults. Our programs focus on developing highly individualized care strategies, self-care, disease prevention, and more (our Caregiver Education Program is part of it).
- Caregiver Support Solutions: Targeting the educational, emotional, and social requirements of the participants.
- Advocacy & Outreach: We strive to spread awareness about dementia in the community and reach older individuals with the greatest economic or social need.
