Caring for a parent or other loved one with Alzheimer's or related dementia can be a much more daunting task than caring for someone with a physical disability or illness. People diagnosed with Alzheimer's can often live for many years after they first find out they have the disease. But it can also be a very rewarding task, there is still a lot of love and times of joy to be shared between you and your loved one. You need to take care of yourself and you need to remember that you can't do it all by yourself. I found this really good article that discusses not what your loved one needs but what the family caregiver needs to make this experience a very rewarding one for you and your loved one.
