Where can I get advice on my parents, one of whom has been diagnosed with Alzheimer's
I'm concerned about the safety of my elderly parents. My father has been diagnosed with Alzheimer's and is abusive to my mother. The illness has caused changes in his personality and my mother is reluctant to do anything because she doesn't feel that he knows what he's doing or doesn't mean to be hurting her. Is there someone I can talk to for advice?
You should contact your parent's doctor. He or she will be best equipped to give you advice regarding this matter, and will know the appropriate steps to take to insure the safety of your parents. You can also go to Medline Plus and do a search for "Alzheimer's caregivers".
There are many articles and advice regarding caring for people with Alzheimer's Disease. The direct link is: www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/alzheimerscaregivers.html
