The summer 1998 issue of our newsletter, The Caregiver , is dedicated to a group of very special people - caregivers of people with Alzheimer's Disease.
Caregivers come in all shapes and sizes, all colors, ages and backgrounds.
Many of them are also employed trying to help pay the costs of the disease and still make ends meet. These costs include replacing employees, absenteeism, workday interruptions, eldercare crisis and supervisor's time. In this quarter, in both The Caregiver and on-line, we are attempting to help those responsible by providing some ways for caregivers to get help and to help each other, and for their friends and families to pitch in too. For those who feel isolated at home, we are providing news on Internet resources and chat rooms. For those who can get out from time to time, see our listings of support groups in your area.
