Resources

Caring for a loved one with dementia presents numerous challenges for families and caregivers. Having dementia puts older adults at risk of wandering, increased aggression, hallucinations, and depression. 

Our new resource explains the most common crises that arise and offers caregivers strategies to cope with or prevent them if a situation occurs.

You can view it here: https://www.caring.com/caregivers/crisis-guide-for-alzheimers-dementia-caregivers/.

Caring.com is a leading senior care resource for family caregivers seeking information and support as they care for aging parents, spouses, and other loved ones. We have been featured by AARP, The Administration for Community Living, The National Legal Resource Center, and Forbes, as well as referenced by many governmental agencies and organizations across the Internet.

 Is someone you care for with Alzheimer's dementia exhibiting excessive motor activity, verbal and/or physical aggression?

If so, they may qualify for the ASPECT™ clinical research study. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of an investigational drug for agitation associated with Alzheimer’s dementia.  

The ASPECT study can help us learn more about a potential treatment for agitation in patients with Alzheimer’s dementia.
