'In my opinion, it takes your dignity before it takes your life,” Darlene Bradley, an Alzheimer’s patient, said. If a new bill becomes law, it would create positions at aging-focused agencies to help those affected by Alzheimer's and dementia.
INDIANAPOLIS — The Alzheimer's Association expects there to be a nearly 20% increase in the number of people suffering from Alzheimer’s and dementia by 2025. That's why they say a bill working its way through the statehouse is vital to creating more resources.
"When I visit my beautiful mother, I feel like I'm looking at myself," Bradley said."It was very scary and a bit heartbreaking. Of course it changed my husband and I's plans for retirement.” The bill would dedicate $3 million to the program and create 15 full time positions over the next two years. Those specialists would work with families to get their loved ones the help they need. That extra support is something people like Bradley say is needed.
