As heard on...



Do you need basic Dementia information?
As a Voluntary Health Organization, we focus broadly on all forms of Dementia,
sometimes also referred to medically as Major Neurocognitive Disorders (NCD). We
have collected top resources from across the country and around the globe for
you! We're like a Dementia association, Dementia foundation, and Brain Health
resource center - all rolled into one. The Dementia Society of America is here
for everyone.

By sharing these resources, we bring HOPE through education about what Dementia
is and what it isn't and help people who live with Dementia continue to lead
meaningful lives and support their care partners. 



This may surprise you, but it summarizes the impact Dementia may have on our
families: We believe that more than 9 million Americans live with some form of
Dementia today. Moreover, although the scientific community is attempting to
shed additional light on the numbers, Alzheimer's-type Dementia alone is
currently considered to represent about half of the cases.* Even more shocking,
when all forms of Dementia are combined, they are globally estimated, as of
2019, to be the 2nd leading cause of death, behind heart disease in high-income
countries.**



Some would say that the number of deaths attributable to Dementia may be
significantly under-reported due to the stigma associated with various diseases,
lack of education, or other coexisting health issues that can often occur at the
end of your life. No matter what the numbers are, Dementia is costly in every
way possible, both financially and emotionally. Our goal is to provide HOPE and
help individuals, caregivers, corporations, and communities wishing to learn
more about Dementia via our resources and programs, targeting one's quality of
life.



Billions are spent each year on rising healthcare costs relating to Dementia. In
addition to the financial burdens, family and care partners looking after loved
ones and friends are often emotionally frustrated and physically stretched to
the maximum.



Today, there are no cures or effective long-term treatments. Alzheimer's disease
and many other causes of progressive Dementia cross the cultural and
socioeconomic divides. Rich or poor, or somewhere in-between, you can die
prematurely just because of Dementia.



While you can get great satisfaction, increased inner strength, and a sense of
well-being in caring for someone living with Dementia, it is still not
easy. Even professional caregivers paid to give a helping hand and assist those
living with Dementia experience occasional burnout. 



Person-centered care, and, if possible, person-directed care, requires that we
always treat individuals uniquely, with respect, and with dignity to the end of
their lives. These are the keys to an optimal quality of life and the best
possible tomorrows.
