Nationally, November is known as Alzheimer's Disease Awareness Month. Recognizing the need for heightened awareness of this disease, President Ronald Reagan made this designation in 1983.
According to the Alzheimer's Association, there were less than two million Americans with Alzheimer's disease at that time. That number has increased to nearly six million nationally. Healthcare Academy is honoring the committed memory care professionals who provide compassion and support to individuals living with Alzheimer's.
Thank you to everyone serving compassionate care to individuals impacted by the disease.
