The Alzheimer's Project - Season 1 Episode 2
There are currently 10 million Americans providing 8.5 billion hours of unpaid care to people with Alzheimer's disease or other dementias, according to an estimate from the Alzheimer's Association.

Someone who has taken care of you, and so it's only natural to want to take care of them."
