For health-care professionals
(Formerly Physician's corner)
Caring for people with Alzheimer's disease and other dementias is a long-term commitment for health-care providers.
From diagnosis until the end of life, health-care providers are called upon to support and treat not only the person with the disease, but caregivers as well.
This section includes information and resources to help physicians provide early diagnosis and to help all health-care providers support individuals and their families throughout the continuum of the disease.
Guidelines
Tough issues

Ambiguous loss and grief
Faced with a lack of practical and educational resources on ambiguous grief and loss among people with dementia, family members and support staff, the Society developed this evidence-based practical resource for staff from a person centred perspective.
