Alzheimer’s disease is a disease rapidly gaining attention by the world. The Alzheimer’s Association indicates over 5 million people are currently living with a form of dementia. This brings to light the need for caregivers and the help that is needed for these caregivers so they can help their loved one suffering from Alzheimer’s.
Families quite often do not have the knowledge or support needed to help their loved one with Alzheimer’s.
- The best start is to get the facts.
- Know what help is available to you to care for your Alzheimer’s patient.
- Knowledge will help you navigate through this difficult time.
Remember no one signs up to be a caregiver. In fact, this job usually just shows up and announces itself and we aren’t prepared. But there is help and support and it’s okay to feel overwhelmed.
Seeking support and expertise is the best way to help your loved one manage Alzheimer’s disease and get the quality care that they will desperately need.
