Support Dementia Caregivers

Dementia caregivers need all of the support they can get.

Here is why:
“Caregivers are themselves subject to increased incidence of depression, anxiety, and, in some cases, physical health issues. The Alzheimer’s Association quotes the disturbing statistic that 50% of caregivers die before the person they are caring for. The supposition is that percentage is so high because of the stress that caregivers are under. Therefore, it is recommended that caregivers find and utilize as many resources as possible, to reduce their stress. “
