The "Alzheimer's Association":http://www.alz-austin.org estimates that 5.3 million Americans have the fatal brain disease.

As many as 1 in 8 persons are affected at age 65, and 1 in 2 at age 85. In Central Texas plenty of support services and resources are available, if you know where to look. For more information about resources, support and respite groups and general information visit the local Alzheimer’s Association here. For Family Eldercare Services click this. Other support groups include Elder Options of Texas and The Area Agency on Aging for the Capital Area.
