Mary Emma mentioned in yesterday’s post how the computer – and especially the internet – is a great outlet and aid for people with Alzheimer’s disease.
It is also a great place to access information and find experts in the field that can answer your questions about Alzheimer’s disease.
Here’s a list of five internet sites where you can ‘ask an expert’ about whatever is concerning you. From medications to caregiving issues, these experts are available to help. Most of the sites also have archives of questions already asked and answered that you can wander through.
Alzheimer’s Association Ask an Expert
American Health Assistance Foundation
Fisher Center for Alzheimer’s Research Foundation
