How Palliative Care Can Help People with Alzheimer’s Disease and their Families
Learn how palliative care can help Alzheimer’s patients with challenging symptoms at any stage of the illness. It also supports caregivers and other family members to understand triggers for symptoms & behavior and how to avoid them.
Palliative care can provide many benefits to people living with Alzheimer’s disease or other dementias, and their caregivers.
“Palliative care is an opportunity for you and your loved one to get a helping hand and make it easier for both of you,” says Doris Phildor, Health Systems Director at the Alzheimer’s Association in New York City.
