Community Services
Family members providing care for the patient with Alzheimer's
disease should familiarize themselves with services offered by community
agencies. Some of these services are geared to meet the patient's
needs while others address the needs of the family. The availability
of these services will vary from community to community, as will
costs and funding sources. A counselor who knows about the resources
in the community can aid the family in its search for appropriate
services. Families may want to discuss their feelings about receiving
outside help. Often, utilization of the available resources helps
the family share caregiving demands.
