Many support groups: When one has a family member with alzheimer's dementia, or other forms of dementia, it can be very stressful for the family members and caregivers. Fortunately, there are many support groups available that can direct you to local resources for help. One such group is the alzheimer's association (www.Alz.Org). Your local hospital will also be able to provide you information on local groups.

Alzheimers: Goggle the alzheimer's association for advice and education, join a support group for families of alzheimer's patients. You need support and it will likely help to hear how other family members cope effectively. Best.
