I love the amazing resources from the Alzheimer's Association®! I learned the hard way, trial by fire, when caregiving for my parents... This FREE WEBINAR would have helped me tremendously! 💜 Don't assume the people that are 'handling it, doing it, in the thick of it" have it all together. Speaking from my experience, I was in total survival mode, living from moment to moment. My parents had an end of life plan, but guess what? Life doesn't always follow the path we expect and plans shift and change, often without notice and due to crisis. 💜 If you know a caregiver... - Check on them, often. - Offer to support their loved one while they take a break to view this webinar. - Be there for them, even just to listen. - Please don't judge them, they are doing what many can't and with minimal training and even less support. - Bring them food, help them out, ask what they need. - Pray for them and their loved one, it truly is the long goodbye. 💜 See you at the webinar!

Starting your journey as a family caregiver can feel overwhelming, but you're not alone. Here are 5 essential steps to help you navigate this new role: 1️⃣ Get a Diagnosis: Seek professional evaluation to understand your loved one's condition and plan accordingly. Early diagnosis can lead to better treatment and planning. 2️⃣ Discuss Finances and Healthcare Wishes: Have open conversations about financial and healthcare preferences. Consider legal documentation like a Durable Power of Attorney. 3️⃣ Family Meeting: Gather loved ones to discuss caregiving responsibilities and support. Utilize resources like our "Holding a Family Meeting" Fact Sheet for guidance. 4️⃣ Utilize Community Resources: Explore local programs such as Meals on Wheels and caregiver workshops to ease your load and provide quality care. 5️⃣ Find Support for Yourself: Remember to prioritize your own well-being. Joining a support group can offer invaluable connections and understanding.

Dementia is one of those illnesses that makes you just want to scream. It's difficult and hard. It's emotional and traumatic all at the same time. Do what you can do and just know that no one is perfect. Things will continue to change a lot just about daily. Remember that no one deals with that much change and remains sane. Cut yourself some slack. #caregiver #dementia #caregivertips
