By Becky Ginos

It’s estimated that about half of the people living with Alzheimer’s are never diagnosed. More than 7 million people in the United States age 65 and older are living with the disease or some other form of dementia, according to the Alzheimer's Association. November is Alzheimer’s Awareness & Family Caregivers Month – a time to shed light on the disease and those who are caring for them.
