Answer to Question 1

AD is the most common degenerative disease of the brain. Approximately 5.3 million Americans have AD (Alzheimer Association, 2010), and there is no known cause or cure. AD typically af-fects people over 65 years of age, but can also strike younger people. The 85-year-old and over age group is currently the fastest-growing age group in the United States. It is estimated that 50 of this age group have AD.

The limitation of 12 months is not part of the commitment. Rehabilitation may take several years or a lifetime.
