People with Alzheimer disease do not have a mind.. so listening to their opinions is not an option. I have had people with this disease ask me to take them home when I was standing in their homes. It is a very cruel disease. As our society gives away all of our national treasure who is going to pay to keep these people in shockingly appalling conditions? These nursing homes coast to coast are a scam on the paying public. Most people are their own worst enemy. 40% of the population is obese! Obesity causes dementia! Being underweight causes dementia! Whatever. Why should taxpayers pay for this blight? I did not make them obese or an anorexia they did that to themselves. I did not force anyone to become a drug addict , people do this to themselves. We are responsible for our actions and everyone of us has to pay the piper one day. "C'est la vie" I do not think I should be able to treat my pets better than my family but that is the system we live under. Why is life so precious that you keep this population alive in appalling conditions? Go visit an Alzheimer pit near you and see if this is humane? Or just a scam to overcharge for vast under performance taking care of these poor souls? Once your brain is gone , it is a good day to die. Nothing sacred about this situation. What percentage of the US population have Alzheimer disease? (this is a vastly low number below by at least 50 to 100%) Of the estimated 5.5 million Americans living with Alzheimer's dementia in 2017, an estimated 5.3 million are age 65 and older and approximately 200,000 individuals are under age 65 and have younger-onset Alzheimer's. One in 10 people age 65 and older (10 percent) has Alzheimer's dementia.
