The single greatest threat to financial security late into life is contracting a long-lasting disease that destroys a person's savings and leaves them dependent upon their children or Medicaid. The most expensive of those chronic diseases, in both financial and emotional costs, is Alzheimer's. The thought of any of our clients' nest egg going to pay for Alzheimer's medical care, rather than to their heirs or to leaving legacies to causes that matter to them, is unacceptable to us. That is why Edward Jones is partnering with the Alzheimer's Association to drive financial support for increasing the pace of research and enhancing vital care and support efforts.
