Accessing Local Alzheimer’s Resources
Nearby resources can be very helpful for families that are dealing with Alzheimer’s. These community or faith-based groups may best understand and take care of the specific needs of your family. Start by knowing what kind of Alzheimer’s resources you need and have questions prepared for a local organization.
The Value of Respite
Taking care of a loved one can be hard and tiring. There are groups that will help you get a break when you need one. This is called “respite care.” It can help you rest and refocus to take better care of your family member over the long term.
Finding local Alzheimer’s resources and respite care support can ultimately help you avoid caregiver burnout and provide better care to your loved one.
Types of Local Resources
If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease, help may be nearer than you think. There are many types of Alzheimer’s resources and organizations in communities throughout the United States. Knowing what’s available near you can make getting support easier when you need it.
How do I Access Local Alzheimer’s Resources?
You can often find Alzheimer’s resources at local churches, senior centers, or other community organizations; you can also join local support groups. Professional care services can also help, including companies, non-profits, or volunteer organizations.
In order to start things off on the right foot, it is helpful to first make a plan. Think through what you or your family needs help with. Prepare questions that will help you understand if the resources offered meet those needs. Then contact local organizations, ask them your questions, and find out how you can get started. These steps may take a bit of time, but it’s worth it to find the help that you and your family need.
