Do you know someone with an elder parent or spouse suffering from Alzheimer’s disease or another form of dementia? Taking care of a mom or dad, husband or wife, as they become increasingly forgetful, have erroneous memories, experience mood swings and require increasing amounts of attention for their own protection can be draining and stressful. The person(s) who assumes responsibility for providing companionship and safety of the person suffering from dementia is called a “caregiver.” Attend a free support group with other caregivers. Call The Information Center (734) 282-7171. www.theinfocenter.info
