The Cost of Dementia: Who Will Pay?
The Health Care Blog Link to more items from this source
Apr. 30, 2013

"[In] 2010 Americans spent $109 billion for dementia care purchased in the market place, like nursing home stays. Factoring in the costs of informal care -- provided by family members or others outside of institutional settings -- the total cost of caring for dementia patients grew to between $159 billion and $215 billion.... Even if we assume that dementia's prevalence stays at the current rate and the cost of care per person does not go up, ... by 2040 total costs will have soared to between $379 billion and $511 billion as measured in today's prices."
