Alzheimer’s Life Expectancy Calculator: Introduction & Disclaimer

Please read and agree to the following before using the Alzheimer’s Life Expectancy Calculator.

This tool provides two results.

1) Estimated Time Until Nursing Home Care is Needed
How many months until the individual requires the level of medical care and supervision normally associated with a nursing home, which is known as a “Nursing Facility Level of Care.” This level of care can also be provided at home with full-time caregivers and all the necessary medical equipment and supplies, and home modifications. If that level of care at home isn’t possible, Medicaid will cover all nursing home costs for qualified individuals.

2) Estimated Time Until Death
How many months until the individual with Alzheimer’s diseases passes. The tool is most accurate for individuals diagnosed with Alzheimer’s who have not had other major health conditions in the past, such as a stroke or a heart attack.

At present this life expectancy calculator is designed only for persons diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease. Our intention is to expand it to other types of dementia as we expand the data set from which results are generated.

This tool cannot and does not attempt to provide an actual life expectancy. Instead, it provides a range of years and months in which individuals with similar demographics and symptoms have survived, based on the information provided by the user and the statistical information in our database
