Colorado New Resource – Safety in Dementia
Colorado researchers launched a website Tuesday to help people make difficult decisions about living with dementia. An estimated 5 million people in the U.S. are living with Alzheimer’s disease, the most common form of dementia.
Driving and home safety tend to dominate discussions around safety. But what’s less talked about, as NPR has reported, “is the risk of guns in the home for those with dementia. That’s a growing problem, as the U.S. population gets older and the number of people with dementia soars.”
