Californians diagnosed with Alzheimer’s need information early to make life decisions

Early diagnosis of Alzheimer’s is crucial for Californians because it allows individuals to make informed life decisions, plan for the future, and access necessary support services sooner. However, many diagnostic tests aren’t consistently covered by insurance, creating financial barriers for those in need. This lack of coverage can delay critical information, impacting not just the individual but also their family and caregivers. Addressing this issue is vital to ensure that people with Alzheimer’s receive timely and equitable care.
