Approximately 2,100 people in Ozaukee County are living with Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias. This number is projected to increase 77% by 2040. 70% of people with dementia live at home. They and their family caregivers will use businesses  and services that are easy to navigate and accommodating to their needs. In addition, about 70% of Alzheimer’s caregivers are under age 65 and employed. 

These numbers touch us all because they represent family members, friends, neighbors, co-workers, colleagues, clients, and customers.

Complimentary lunch will be served.
