Emotional and Financial Toll of Early Onset Alzheimer’s

According to a report from AJC, there is an emotional and financial toll on those patients suffering from early onset Alzheimer’s. It can also result in permanent disability, which may lead an individual to pursue Social Security disability benefits.

When early onset Alzheimer’s affects adults who are still in their working years, the burden can be tremendous. Disability benefits may run out, health insurance may no longer be available, and the cost to treat someone with Alzheimer’s can skyrocket.

The Alzheimer’s Association indicates that the average lifetime cost of care for a patient is $174,000. This year alone, the cost to care for Alzheimer’s patients has hit $183 billion, with it projected to be as much as $1.1 trillion by the year 2050.

Early onset Alzheimer’s comes with an emotional toll as well. An uncertainty about the future, family members not knowing what is to come as the disease progresses, caring for the individual, and learning how to deal with the disease can be overwhelming.

Early onset Alzheimer’s could qualify an individual for the fast track system offered by Social Security Administration.
