Alzheimer’s Disease Impact in the Workplace:
-
There are 10.9 million family members and friends providing unpaid care for a person with Alzheimer’s disease or other dementia.
-
Stress from elder care responsibilities leads many employees to; take time off from work; pass up promotions and training opportunities, reduce contributions to their own retirement savings and sometimes give up work entirely and retire early.
-
60% of pre-retirement age caregivers between the ages of 50 and 64 are working while managing elder care responsibilities and that number will increase as the population ages.
-
Caregivers provide, on average, 21.9 hours of care per week.
Corporate investment in research leading to a treatment breakthrough that delays the onset of Alzheimer’s by five years would:
-
Ensure that 43% of Americans who would have been expected to have the condition in 2050 would be dementia free.
-
Reduce the number of people reaching the severe stage of the disease – 3.5 million instead of the expected 6.5 million.
-
Create annual Medicare savings of $33 billion in 2020, climbing to $283 billion by 2050.
-
Create annual Medicaid savings of $9 billion in 2020, climbing to $79 billion by 2050.
-
Minimize the impact of the disease on healthcare costs in the U.S. making U.S. businesses more competitive in a global economy.
-
Help to retain older workers who may otherwise retire early due to elder care responsibilities.
