An estimated 11.7% of Solano County's 65+ population has Alzheimer's disease, according to estimates released in 2023 by the Alzheimer's Association. This translates to approximately 8,800 people in Solano County living with Alzheimer's disease.
During the program the audience will learn the impact of Alzheimer's and examine the difference between Alzheimer's and dementia. There will be a description of the stages of the condition and its risk factors. Additionally there will be a presentation of current research and treatments available for some symptoms.
