. Alzheimer’s as a Family Disease: Compassionate Home Care in Naples, FL by Naples Bay Home Care
In Collier County, Alzheimer’s isn’t just a medical condition—it deeply affects entire families. With approximately 17,744 individuals diagnosed with Alzheimer’s in Collier County as of 2020, this disease is a local reality that touches many hearts.
The Hidden Weight on Families
Across Florida, an estimated 870,000 family caregivers provide 1.3 billion hours of unpaid care each year, representing a value of $28.4 billion. Many of these caregivers are themselves older adults coping with chronic health conditions, depression, and burnout—66% report at least one chronic condition, and nearly 29% struggle with depression.
Caring for a family member with Alzheimer’s can last several years longer than care for other illnesses, placing prolonged stress on families.
