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.
