Currently in the United States there are 10 million women who either have Alzheimer's or are caring for someone with the disease. Women are barring the burdeon of this disease as they are more likely to care for an aging family member with Alzheimer’s than their male counterpart. Home Instead Senior Care of Seacoast and Southern New Hampshire lives and breathes this statistic locally. Like Maria Shriver, our team of over 130 employees is comprised of 98% women--we are simply women helping women. With the recent release of The Shriver Report: A Woman's Nation Takes on Alzheimer's and a this week's Time news article Attacking Alzheimer's we are excited to see more light be shed on the complexity of this family disease as we deal with the importance of this issue on a daily basis.
For the last 8 years, Home Instead Senior Care has provided non-medical home care services to over 850 clients--more than 75% with Alzheimer's/dementia. And with the aging population of baby boomers, the number of people with Alzheimer’s disease is expected to triple by 2050—if no cure is found.
If you are a struggling caregiver trying to balance your work, life and family responsibilities we encourage you to contact Home Instead Senior Care. We can help be your solution.
