Is there help for caregivers?
|
Caregivers need help and support. |
Yes. If you are caring for someone with Alzheimer’s disease, you may feel overwhelmed. It can take all your time and energy. There is help for you. Learn about support groups, adult day-care programs, home healthcare services, and other helpful resources. You need to take care of yourself in order to take care of someone with Alzheimer’s disease. The Alzheimer’s Association has chapters across the country that can help. Also, the ADEAR Center has two booklets that may be helpful: “The Caregiver Guide” and “Home Safety.”
