The services of ADRC Specialists creates a return on investment (ROI) for the community of $4.25 — this means that for every dollar spent on the ADRC, $4.25 was saved for the State of Wisconsin.
Caregivers
The number of people in Wisconsin living with dementia (123,000+) can fill the Packers and Brewers stadiums — and this number is set to increase with an aging population.
