**__Alzheimer's Research__** =**Thesis statement** = What is hindering the Scientists research on Alzheimer's as the senior population will be 60% higher in twenty-five years.

**Introduction** I am interested in this subject because my grandparents are eighty-six years old and in good health.But both are forgetting things, and my grandfather is degressing quickly. As I researched this information I became more aware that the elderly population will outnumber everyone. This is staggering information. Most of the daily things we take for granted are becoming more difficult for the elderly. Grocery shopping, driving, walking and cooking. I have become more aware that Senior independent living housing complexes are everywhere.Housing that will keep the elderly safe, provide meals and entertainement and they will have contact with other people their own age. This is a positive outcome.

**Research Process** I have discovered a more efficient way of searching for information. Before this I was searching using Google and entering a topic. After paging threw topic after topic and hours I might find some information related to my subject. This new method of searching begins with the library.Clicking on Articles begins my search. Because my topic is medical I needed databases with this information. I found using the advanced search gave me specific usable information. I was able to select the databases I needed as Health Source, Medline, Academic Search Complete and Alt Health Watch. A helpful way to find other articles or journals, was to change the limiters. I found two journals “Research Journal of Alzheimer’s and The State Journal. After finding these two journals I located the titles with the information I needed. I will continue to use this approach to research. This method is accurate and faster in locating information that you need for research.
