Alzheimer's Disease: A Caregiver's Guide, Part 1

Caring for a person with alzheimer's disease (ad) at home is a difficult task and can become overwhelming at times. One of the biggest struggles caregivers face is dealing with the difficult behaviors of the person they are caring for. Many caregivers have found it helpful to use strategies for dealing with difficult behaviors and stressful situations. Following are some suggestions to consider when faced with difficult aspects of caring for a person with AD.

Dealing with the Diagnosis

Finding out that a loved one has Alzheimer's disease can be stressful, frightening, and overwhelming. As you begin to take stock of the situation, here are some tips that may help:

* Ask the doctor any questions you have about AD. Find out what treatments might work best to alleviate symptoms or address behavior problems.

* Contact organizations such as the Alzheimer's Association for more information about the disease, treatment options, and caregiving resources. Some community groups may offer classes to teach caregiving, problem-solving, and management skills.
