Caring for a loved one with Alzheimer’s can sometimes feel overwhelming. Family members must deal with both the physical and emotional challenges that come with an Alzheimer’s diagnosis. Over time, the loved one’s ability to function and communicate will decline, and behavior may become unpredictable. Studies show that caregivers’ health can also be at risk due to the stress and physical demands on them.
