MOUNTAIN LIFEWORKS is focused on combating factors that contribute to significant complications and critical consequences for individuals and caregivers across a multitude of causes. How we treat our seniors, most vulnerable and their caregivers says a lot about our communities and priorities. An estimated 6.2 million Americans age 65 and older are living with Alzheimer's. In 2021, Alzheimer's and other dementias will cost the nation $355 billion, including $239 billion in Medicare and Medicaid payments combined. While more than 11 million Americans provide unpaid care for people with Alzheimer's or other dementias.
