Caregiving

Caring for someone with dementia can be a challenging and stressful time, both physically and emotionally. It is important when you are providing care that you care for yourself as well.

Keep in mind that you are not alone. There are resources available to help you. Alzheimer Society staff are always available to listen and to provide support. Call our HELPLINE at 943-6622 (in Winnipeg) or 1-800-378-6699 (outside Winnipeg). You can also e-mail us at alzmb@alzheimer.mb.ca

Children are impacted by dementia too. When a parent develops Alzheimer’s disease or another dementia, children find it difficult to understand the disease, how to interact with the parent with dementia and what their role in caregiving might be. When Dementia is in the House, a website by Katherine Nichols and Tiffany Chow, MD is a helpful resource for parents and children facing this challenge.
