Alzheimer's Support
Having Alzheimer's disease or looking after a loved one with it can become isolating as the disease progresses and care becomes more involved. The Web is a great place to connect with others who are in similar situations. Whether the person on the other end of the computer is in Alaska or Alabama doesn't matter; what matters are the connections, the understanding, and the peer-to-peer advice that you can share.
Dulcinea's Insight
- Check with the national associations and your local chapters to find if there are message boards, support groups, or e-mail news lists that you can join. Although not designated support sites, they are reliable ways to share questions and concerns.
- To read more information on support for caregivers, look back to the "Alzheimer's Caregivers" section of this guide.
- Blogs are another valuable way to share in other's experiences. Not only can you benefit from a blogger's insight, you can also usually comment on entries.
