Each year the [World Alzheimer's report ](http://www.alz.co.uk/research/world-report-2013)is published, showing the impact of an aging planet and the increased need for dementia care.  Here are a couple of eye-opening stats:

- Number of people worldwide with dementia expected to be 70 million by 2030 and 115 million by 2050
- The cost of dementia care accounts for 1% of the worlds GDP.  In some wealthier countries, the percentage is much higher and is growing
- The reports to financing recommendations, including private LTC insurance (mandate purchase) and other social insurance programs.

One thing people on the planet seem to have in common - they'd prefer to have care provided at home if needed.
