Caregiving Tips
Taking care of a loved one with Alzheimer's disease is not easy. In fact, it may even seem like a full-time job. You may need to learn new skills to cope with your loved one's needs. You may have to change your daily routine to make time for caregiving.
Involve as many family members as possible. Try to distribute caregiving tasks among several people to ease tension. If some family members live away from home, ask if the doctor can put them on speaker phone during the visit. This will help ease the burden on the primary caregiver.
