The DICE approach 

There were an estimated 44 million people with Alzheimer’s or some form of Dementia worldwide and as of 2016 and about 6 million in the U.S. alone. It is estimated that one to four family members act as caregivers for each individual with Alzheimer’s disease. In 2016, 15.9 million family and friends provided 18.2 billion hours of unpaid assistance to those with Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia in the U.S., a contribution to the nation valued at $230.1 billion. Those numbers will increase rapidly as baby boomers age.
