Alzheimer’s Update: Planning For It and Walking to End It

5.8 million Americans are living with Alzheimer’s Disease. By 2050, it’s estimated there will be as many as 16 million Americans living with Alzheimer’s.

If you are a caregiver, how do you meet the challenges for a loved one who has this disease? How do you know when it’s Alzheimer’s and not just forgetfulness at the early stages? When someone has been diagnosed, they’ll likely need years and years of care. How do you pay for it? How can you plan ahead for long-term care?

Listen to this Life Happens Radio podcast to get answers to these and many more questions, hosts Lou Pierro of Pierro, Connor & Strauss and Bob Vandy of Advisors Insurance Brokers are joined by special guest Beth Boivin, Executive Director and CEO of the Alzheimer’s Association of Northeast New York.

Beth has had a long career of supporting patients and families dealing with this difficult disease, plus leading the cause to find the best treatment and cures. On this podcast, she also tell us how to donate or sign up for the Walk to End Alzheimer’s on September 21, 2019 at Siena College, and at other locations.
