ROCKFORD — Alzheimer’s is a debilitating disease of the human brain that effects memory and cognitive function.

More than six million people in the United States are living with Alzheimer’s, according to the Alzheimer’s Association. The toll that their care takes on a family can be exhausting and expensive.

That’s why the Alzheimer’s Association is there to help. They provide virtual learning opportunities, support groups, education, community resources and care consultation so that no one has to feel alone when dealing with Alzheimer’s.
