Caring for a family member with
Alzheimer's Disease can be very challenging, not only because the
disease limits ability to communicate or understand, but also because
of grieving the loss of the person you once knew.
People with Alzheimer's have no control over what is happening to
them. They are not able to change their behavior. It is up to you and
other family members to change and adapt.
This program will help you understand how to relate and communicate
in new ways in order to create a higher quality of life for the person
with Alzheimer's and yourself. Learn about effective responses to
repetitive questions and aggressive behavior, use of language and other
forms of communication. Interviews with experts provide additional
information about the disease and how to interact effectively.
