Care Partner Support Programs
Dementia is a family disease. Care partners and families are also affected by a diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease, dementia or memory impairment, and it is important to recognize the importance of this role.
The Alzheimer's Association reports:
- 70% of dementia caregivers say that coordinating care is stressful.
- Two-thirds also have difficulty finding resources and support for their needs.
- 74% of dementia caregivers say that they are concerned about maintaining their own health since becoming a caregiver.
