From 24/7 Wall St.

As the number of people with Alzheimer's disease rises above five million, one of the questions that comes up is who will care for the patients. As The Wall Street Journal points out, the baby boomers are about to start turning 65, and age is the No.1 factor in "the long-forecast dementia epidemic."

There are several companies in the nursing home and elder care industry that are likely to benefit from the problems of an aging population:

    Sunrise Senior Lv
  • $4.31
  • -0.92%
  • $4.18

Sunrise Senior Living (SRZ) The company has problems with releasing its financials because the SEC has requested that the company restate its 2005 numbers. That does not seem to have hurt the stock. It trades at $39.12, just below the 52-week high of $41.50.

Brookdale Senior Living (BKD) Another company in the industry that has its trials. Company revenue doubled in Q4 to $432 million. But, one time charges knocked down net and Goldman Sachs downgraded the shares. Trades in middle of its range at $45.28.
