Support for Caregivers
Caring for someone with Alzheimer's disease can be stressful and overwhelming.[6] It's important to take care of yourself as well. You may want to contact the Alzheimer's Disease Education and Referral Center (ADEAR) for more information about the disease and caregiving resources. You can contact ADEAR at 1-800-438-4380 or by visiting the web site at http://www.nia.nih.gov/alzheimers.
You can find information for local support organizations by contacting Eldercare Locator[7] at 1-800-677-1116 or by visiting their web site at http://www.eldercare.gov. Another resource is the National Alliance for Caregiving (http://www.caregiving.org).
