Introduction
Caring
for someone with Alzheimer's disease can be a complex task.
It can be frustrating, confusing, emotionally draining
and physically exhausting -- even though it has its rewards
and good times.
Whether
you're a family, volunteer or paid caregiver, you may
feel you could use help at some time.
Every
community has agencies and services that can help you.
Finding
help
Services
for the elderly and their caregivers vary from province
to province and region to region.
You
can find out what services are available in your community
from a number of sources:
- your local
Alzheimer Society
- your
family doctor, health clinic or social worker
- the
public health department in your area
- community
organizations
- your
friends, family, neighbours and others in the community,
especially if they have been caregivers
