Talk About Dementia

Alzheimer’s disease and other types of dementia can cause changes, impacting memory and thinking, as well as changes in behavior as we get older. Learning about dementias and discussing them can help us and our loved ones.

In Colorado, an estimated 90,800 people aged 65 and older live with Alzheimer’s disease.

Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia impact not only the person living with dementia but also countless friends and family members.

While the number of people that dementia impacts is likely to grow, dementia remains underdiagnosed.  People are often not aware that they are experiencing signs of dementia.
