By 2025, the number of people age 65 and older with Alzheimer's disease is estimated to reach 7.1 million. This illness transforms you, because you don’t remember who you are and what your life was anymore. My grandma loved her house deeply, she said she was never going to leave it. Now she has forgotten and doesn’t recognise it anymore, so often prepare her luggage’s and ask “Take me home” even though she is already there. She is now temporarily in a specialized clinic, we keep hoping to get her back.
