Losing not just the memories of a life time, but the memory of how to tie a shoe or make a cup of coffee is the nightmare of Alzheimer's Disease.

Alzheimer's Disease is the most common form of dementia. By the age of 85 your chances of developing Alzheimer's Disease rises to almost fifty percent. This terrible disease impacts not just the patient, but family and friends who must watch the person they love slowly disappear.
