Getting Help With Alzheimer’s Caregiving

Caring for a person with Alzheimer’s disease takes a lot of time and effort, and it often exceeds what one person can provide on their own. Some caregivers need help when the person is in the early stages of Alzheimer’s. Other caregivers look for help when the person is in the later stages of the disease. It’s okay to seek help whenever you need it.

Financial and Legal Planning for Caregivers

Legal documents help ensure that the wishes of the person with dementia are followed as the disease progresses and make it possible for others to make decisions on behalf of the person when he or she no longer can. Please be aware that laws can vary from one state to another.

Caregiver Health

Caring for someone with Alzheimer's can be overwhelming, but we have resources to help. As a caregiver, you likely will have many responsibilities. It is important to have a support network to take care of your own well-being.

Safety

Safety is important for everyone, but the need for a comprehensive safety plan becomes vital as Alzheimer's progresses. Taking measures to improve safety can prevent injuries and help the person with Alzheimer’s feel more relaxed, less overwhelmed and maintain his or her independence longer.
