The Need for Legal Planning

If not already done, legal planning should begin soon after a diagnosis of dementia has been made. People with dementia may be able to manage their own affairs at the beginning.

Residential Care Options

Alzheimer’s disease brings with it many tough choices for families. One that is often the most difficult is the decision to move the person with dementia from home into a nursing home or assisted living facility.

Family Caregiver Guide

The Family Caregiver Guide (FCG) provides detailed information on key topics critical for family members and friends who find themselves in a caregiving role. Topics include: Understanding Dementia, Effective Communication, Behaviors Have Meaning, and Caring for the Caregiver.

The late stage of Alzheimer’s disease may last anywhere from several weeks to several years. Intensive, around-the-clock assistance is usually required.
