Background

Approximately 5.4 million Americans suffer from dementia due to Alzheimer’s Disease. Currently there is no cure for Alzheimer’s Disease.

This study seeks men and women who have been diagnosed with mild dementia due to Alzheimer’s Disease. Participants must have a permanent caregiver and be able to attend 5-6 study visits over a 7 month period. Participants will be compensated $325 for participating in this study.
