        One in three older Americans dies with dementia, which is an umbrella term for a decline in mental ability severe enough to interfere with activities of daily living. Alzheimer’s disease is the most common cause, accounting for an estimated 60-80% of all cases of dementia. Foundations and other funders have joined federal and local governments in supporting research and implementation of many different types of dementia-related services.
