Synopsis

Caregiving for a loved one with Alzheimer's disease or dementia is hard. It's hard whether you're caring for your spouse, parent, grandparent, sibling, other family member, or friend. And caring for a loved one with dementia can sometimes feel like a long, lonely journey.

Six Steps to Managing Alzheimer's Disease and Dementia can help, addressing concerns such as:

● Is the problem Alzheimer's, dementia, or something else?

● How do you approach problems in dementia? How do you manage problems with memory, language, and vision? How do you cope with emotional and behavioral problems?

● What are the best ways to manage troubles with sleep and incontinence? Which medications can help? Which medications can actually make things worse?

● How do you build your care team? Why is it important to care for yourself? How do you sustain your relationship with your loved one?

● How do you plan for the progression of dementia? How do you plan for the end and beyond?
