I have lost someone to Alzheimer’s disease.

My wife LuAnne

I was fortunate to have strong support from family. Outside of family, I met with the Alzheimer’s Association and eventually found a support group that worked well for me. Later, I found a few caregivers like myself who were dealing with an ailing spouse, and we became our own small support group.

First, make sure legal documents and advanced healthcare directives are in order. Put together a financial plan and a caregiver plan. Most important, time with your loved one is precious. Spend as much quality time with your loved one as you can. Do it now, not later.
