• Description:
  Are communities ready to respond to a large population of older people with dementia? Current projections indicate the number of people living with Alzheimer’s and other dementias is ballooning as the Baby Boom generation gets older. Those with dementia will require more and more support as cognitive, behavioral, and physical functioning worsens over time. This means Medicare and Medicaid costs are rising dramatically, and the additional burden on family caregivers is endangering their own health. ; In October 2018, CDC and the Alzheimer’s Association will release this HBI Road Map for State and Local Public Health Partnerships as well as a companion HBI Road Map for Indian Country. ; Publication date from document properties. ; executive-brief-HBI-2018-road-map-508.pdf ; cdc.gov/aging ; alz.org/publichealth
