In Kentucky, 11,430 people with Alzheimer's live without someone designated as their caregiver, and that number is likely to rise as the number of people with the disease continues to grow.

A national report released Wednesday by the Alzheimer's Association predicted a 31 percent increase in the number of Alzheimer patients in Kentucky. The national report says some 97,000 Kentuckians will be diagnosed with the disease by 2025.
