Currently, Alzheimer's disease represents a significant economic burden for patients, caregivers, and society, with more than 11 million Americans providing an estimated 15.3 billion hours of unpaid care in 2020. The annual cost of care for Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias in the U.S. is over $600 billion and lifetime care for someone with Alzheimer's disease is estimated to cost approximately $500,000 per patient, which is primarily borne by patients' families as an out-of-pocket expense. It is important to note that in the U.S., nursing home costs per patient are approximately $100,000 per year.

2. ~ 5.8 million Americans age 65 and older have Alzheimer's or dementia today and is the fifth leading cause of death among Americans age 65 and older. More than 16 million family members and other unpaid caregivers provided 18.6 billion hours of care to people with Alzheimer's or other dementias. Today, someone in the country develops Alzheimer's disease every 66 seconds.
Last year, the lifetime cost of care for a person with Alzheimer's stood at $329,360.
Families pay 3 out of every 4 dollars of that cost through out-of-pocket expenses and the value of unpaid care.

Caring for a victim of Alzheimer's Disease at home can cost a family up to $22,000 per year.
