Today there are nearly 7 million people living with Alzheimer's in the US , including one in nine in the over 65 age group.

By 2050 , that number is expected to balloon to 13 million .

Dr. Joanne Pike , CEO of the Alzheimer's Association , explains what families and communities should know to adapt to this swelling high-needs population.

The number of people diagnosed with Alzheimer's is expected to rise to 13 million people by 2050 .

The cost of caring for someone with dementia is around $400,000 , and 70% of those costs are borne by family caregivers.

One of the biggest things that we can do is continue to invest in Alzheimer's and dementia research.

Dr. Joanne Pike : This is one of the more exciting times that we've seen within the research, treatment, and care landscape within Alzheimer's and other dementia.

Pike: In the next decade , we will see combination therapies where we are using multiple drugs or treatments to treat multiple angles of the disease.
