In recognition of World Alzheimer’s Month, we are sharing some resources for those caring for loved ones with Alzheimer’s or dementia related diseases.

“When a family member or loved one has Alzheimer’s disease or a related dementia, you may find yourself left with more questions than answers. These diseases change the way a person thinks and acts, and can be very challenging, especially for those in a caretaking role. Learning more about these diseases, what to expect, and what you can do can make a difference in a caregiver’s health and well-being — and the well-being of the person you’re caring for.
The federal government offers reliable resources on Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias and can connect you to important information about care and support. You can use the pages on this website and resources below to find more information from government sources. The information provided on these websites has been reviewed by experts in their fields. Health care providers, case managers, social workers, and nonprofit organizations may also be helpful.”
