Helena Capital Rotunda Turns Purple
Montana Capital Rotunda will turn purple February 13th 2015! Introducing the most expensive disease in the world and the 6th leading cause of death: Alzheimer's Disease. If you haven't already heard, Montana has something in common with the rest of America. In fact, Montana is a leader when compared to other states. By the year 2025, the projected number of people who will be living with Alzheimer's Disease or a Related Dementia in Montana alone is 27,000. Hands-down the burden will be huge. Each community is already challenged to do things differently due to the demand for safe, affordable solutions. Employers will be challenged to be more flexible and add benefits in support of caregivers. More Americans will become caregivers by necessity and have reduction in work hours or total work loss due to caregiving responsibilities. Life-savings, if any, disappear at astonishing rates with 24 hour care needs creating annual expenses which exceed $50,000.
There is a lot of work going on in the state of Montana but there is so much more to do.
