"With the advent of the baby boomer generation reaching 65 or older, the time to address the growing epidemic of Alzheimer's disease is now. Increased research and economic strategy for Alzheimer's patients and caregivers will be crucial to manage this crisis at the personal and national levels." — Former U.S. Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist, M.D.
"The new Shriver Report, on the enormity of Alzheimer's care, points out the huge burden placed primarily on women. A burden which is unsustainable, not only for the woman herself, but for our society in general." — Dr. Christiane Northrup, Board-certified ob/gyn, bestselling author
"The Shriver Report shows us that millions of American women desperately need professional help caring for a loved one with Alzheimer's. It's a wake up call: America must ensure that hardworking women and men like 'Doris T.' who provide essential homecare services to our elders are earning fair wages and advancing their skills to provide the highest quality care." — Anna Burger
