Tony Bennett has Alzheimer's

That’s too bad. Tony Bennett is a living legend, my 95 year old mother has Alzheimer’s and it’s a terrible disease, my heart goes out to Mr. Bennett and his family.

The man is 94 years old. For some reason, our society wants to attach or blame some disease label like Alzheimer's for someone who's just getting very old. I think by the time you reach 90, you're allowed to be forgetful or show signs of dementia. It isn't always considered Alzheimer's.
 
If he was diagnosed between four and five years ago, there’s no reason to assume his doctors didn’t take the proper steps to ascertain his condition. I’ve lost, and am losing, family members to other forms of dementia. Quite conspicuously explained as not Alzheimer’s by the doctors upon their thorough evaluations. No reason to assume the statement issued in regard to Mr. Bennett is anything other than a proper medical diagnosis.
