Awareness

How to handle a person with Alzheimer's who doesn't think anything is wrong with them even after a diagnosis? They blame everything on the caregiver.

  1. Hi being a caretaker can be very challenging, especially for someone who is refusing or acknowledging that they need help. I hope I can help you by sending over some resources for you. There are support groups for caregivers, this is a great space to talk and share with people who are going through similar situations: https://alzheimersdisease.net/caregivers/support-groups. Here are some tips for self care, which is so important: https://alzheimersdisease.net/caregivers/self-care and https://alzheimersdisease.net/living/tips-for-new-caregivers. I am sure this is a lot on you, please keep us posted on how you are doing. Jill (Team Member)
