1 State of Illinois lzheimer s Disease nnual Survey Dear Friends, Emerging from our third year of conducting this survey, I am pleased to share with you the results of the 2015 State of Illinois lzheimer s Disease Survey. First and foremost, we increased participation by 34 percent to a total of 1559 respondents residing in 72 Illinois counties. The input from individuals across our diverse state is valuable as the lzheimer s ssociation strives to serve and represent more individuals every year. The continued growth of this survey demonstrates the ravaging effects lzheimer s disease has on Illinois families. Moving forward, the lzheimer s ssociation, along with our partners, will use the results of this survey as we craft our legislative agenda for the 2016 Illinois General ssembly legislative session. s we disseminate the publication of this report, our State is now entering its third month with no budget. While solutions for Illinois perpetual budget problems are debated, the responses from those surveyed show how the dire fiscal realities of state government are affecting the nearly 800,000 people impacted by lzheimer s disease. The lzheimer s ssociation, however, continues to work diligently with our policymakers in Springfield to better the lives of this ever-growing population. Below are a few points I found particularly important to highlight: 1. For three years now, fewer than half of the survey respondents were familiar with programs and services offered by the state of Illinois. Unfortunately this year the percentage of these respondents registered at an all-time high, hitting nearly 60 percent. Education of state services continues to lack and at the detriment of individuals receiving the care they need. 2. Survey respondents continued their overwhelming believe that Illinois is not doing enough to address lzheimer s disease and related dementia s. In 2014, a low 4.8 percent of those surveyed believed Illinois was doing enough to address lzheimer s. This year the number fell to an abysmal 1.67 percent (66.82 percent believed Illinois was not doing enough). While these numbers are troubling, it is reflective of the lack of commitment by our state government in crucial programs needed to support this population. 3. Nearly 84 percent of respondents are not familiar with what their local state representative or state senator are doing to address the needs of their constituents with lzheimer s disease and related dementias. This question was added this year to supplement our conversations with state legislators regarding the growing need to confront lzheimer s in Illinois government. 4. Respondents were somewhat evenly split on what policy they d like the lzheimer s ssociation to pursue in Springfield. With that said, two important policy reforms topped the list. First, percent of respondents believe we must act to stop uncertified facilities from advertising an expertise in dementia care. In second with percent, was establishing new transfer/discharge regulations to ensure those with lzheimer s are not transferred or discharged solely because they exhibit disruptive behavior. Thank you to everyone who took the time to respond to the survey. Many thanks to our official survey partners for their help in disseminating the survey. We could not have continued our success without your help in reaching a wider, more diverse network of respondents. For a complete list of our partners, please visit the back page of this report. While some of these results are worrisome, the lzheimer s ssociation is fully dedicated to working with both legislators and state agencies to remedy both the lack of services and awareness surrounding this public health crisis. With your help we look forward to translating these results into legislative action to make Illinois a dementia capable state. Sincerely, Erna E.
