See the partial list of the association's resources . Community help The Alzheimer's Association can direct you to several avenues of help, including Alzheimer's support groups. Support groups give you an opportunity to meet with other families who face problems similar to yours. When a parent or other relative is diagnosed with Alzheimer's, families that regularly get together find their closeness a blessing. They can lean on each other for support.
Christian friends can be a valuable source of support, too.
The church can also help people outside the congregation by sponsoring an Alzheimer's Awareness Night. If it is offered to the public, many hurting families may attend. Contact the Area Agency on Aging and ask if they will provide an informational program. Take care of yourself You need time to spend with others and to enjoy your own interests. Take care of your physical health with rest, exercise, and a healthy diet.
