Alzheimer’s dementia is the sixth leading cause of death in the United States, and yet there is no cure. In North Carolina, over 160,000 people have Alzheimer’s or another type of dementia. Families are profoundly affected, not only by the impact on an individual’s life, but also how it reshapes the family dynamic. Often, providing the care needed causes significant emotional, health, and financial challenges for the caregiver(s) and their family. Learn about state and local resource Project C.A.R.E. and the support provided to caregivers as they learn about the disease, develop new coping skills, and find solutions to pressing situations and circumstances.
