People with Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias are usually cared for by family members or friends. The majority of people with Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias receive care in their homes. Each year, more than 16 million Americans provide more than 17 billion hours of unpaid care for family and friends with Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias.
In 2023, these caregivers provided an estimated 18.5 billion hours of care. Approximately two-thirds of dementia caregivers are women, about one in three caregivers is age 65 or older, and approximately one-quarter of dementia caregivers are the “sandwich generation” caregivers, meaning that they care not only for an aging parent, but also for children under age 18.
...And then there's Mary Gail. This episode will uncover the enormous level of grace and mercy that Mary Gail gave in caregiving for her parents. You will cry; you will laugh; and mostly, you'll be shocked at how benevolent and merciful this daughter of two parents is, serving and doing what she believed to be "the right thing to do."
This is part one... Part two is coming in the next episode.
