Episode description

In 2023, an estimated 6.7 million Americans age 65 and older are living with Alzheimer's, which will likely double to 12.7 million by 2050. Yet our health and long-term care systems aren't prepared to support this population or their families, many of whom are strained financially and emotionally.

In this episode, host Robert Espinoza is joined by expert guest  Jason Resendez, President and CEO at the National Alliance for Caregiving. They speak about the latest trends in dementia, its impact on millions of family caregivers, and how our country should support everyone as dementia cases continue to rise. 

This podcast is produced by Robert Espinoza in partnership with Modry Media
