- Every 67 seconds, someone in the U.S. develops Alzheimer’s.
- Alzheimer’s disease is the 6th leading cause of death in the United States.
- There are approximately 500,000 people dying each year because they have Alzheimer’s.
- In 2013, 15.5 million caregivers provided an estimated 17.7 billion hours of unpaid care valued at more than $220 billion.
Plano Alzheimer’s Care Facilities
Does your family fit into these unfortunate statistics about Alzheimer’s disease? You’re not alone.
In the Plano TX area, there are resources available to help you find Alzheimer’s care facilities and other support. In 2008, I was faced with this same issue when my mother was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. That experience inspired me to create a FREE service to help other families just like I helped Hillary, below. Contact me today to get your free guide.
I received your name from a friend of mine who you had the opportunity to assist when you had first started your company. Melanie was right, as your service was a tremendous help to my siblings and myself when needing to find the appropriate Frisco Assisted Living facility for my father. The reason why I trusted you, is because you had gone through with your mom directly and could understand how difficult this was on us. Thank you again for helping us to narrow the choices down and continuing to check in with us.
