When an elderly loved one starts showing early signs of Alzheimer’s disease, it’s usually time for family members to transition into a more supportive role.
Alzheimer’s disease (this link will take you to a page on the Health Direct website about Alzheimer’s disease) is not curable and it can worsen over time. While modern medicines may help lessen the symptoms, a person with this condition will require a lot of support from their family to help them live comfortably during the time they have left.
If you don’t have any experience taking care of an individual with Alzheimer’s disease, finding the right resources and approach to support the person under your care can be very stressful.
