The Burden of Alzheimer’s Disease and dementia symptoms on Senior Living Residents

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:12:52 GMT

Over 6 million people in the United States have Alzheimer’s disease, the most common form of dementia. By 2050, the number of individuals suffering from this progressive illness is expected to reach 13 million. Despite its prevalence, many physicians and senior living communities lack the caregivers, resources to fully support these individuals. The availability of direct care workers is steadily declining while the demand is predicted to increase 40% until 2026. Additionally, 20 states in the US will become ‘dementia neurology deserts’ within the next two years because they don’t have enough services for these patients. Physicians also frequently feel unprepared to deal with Alzheimer’s patients and often wait to discuss the symptoms of the disease until the person or their family member’s inquire about it.Although Alzheimer’s disease was identified over a century ago, modern medicine still has no cure for its symptoms. The causes can stem from family medical history, age, or livin...

OAKLAND — Twenty years after the crime that landed her in prison on a life sentence, an East Bay woman has been freed from incarceration through a court motion filed by the Alameda County District Attorney’s office, court records show.Ava McDonald, 53, was sentenced to 25 years to life in prison for the murder of Oakland resident Stacy Alexander, who was shot and killed by McDonald’s romantic partner in 2003. But on June 14, prosecutors successfully moved to free her from prison, using a section of the penal code that allows a DA to commute or reduce a person’s sentence post-conviction.The motion, filed by Assistant District attorney Erin Loback, says that in the 20 years she’s been incarcerated, McDonald has had no “serious discipline” and “has taken advantage of countless opportunities to participate in rehabilitative programming.”“Before her first parole hearing was scheduled earlier this year, a psychologist evaluated h...
