Providing care for individuals with Alzheimer disease is extraordinarily
challenging and exhausting, both for family members and professional
caregivers. Effective caregiving requires great sensitivity, tact, good
judgment, flexibility, patience, stamina and communication skills. While
medications can help with the management of disease symptoms, the
quality of caregiving is essential to the well-being of the patient -
and of the patient's family. In our experience, caregivers are desperate
for reliable advice and creative ideas on all aspects of caregiving.
