The post I wrote about resources for Alzheimer’s caregivers, Thursday Thirteen – 13 Blogs About Alzheimer’s, resulted in numerous comments and caregivers sharing information.

They even provided some more blogs for caregivers.

If you’re looking for information and just a place to get together with other caregivers, for comfort and encouragement, perhaps you’d like to check out these blogs. Also, you may find tips on making life more enjoyable for the person with Alzheimer’s.

If you have any more resources, do share them with us. Caregivers need all the encouragement and support they can find during their journey with their Alzheimer’s patient.

Alzheimer’s Resources – Psych Central

As we try to learn more about Alzheimer’s, especially if we’re caring for a family member or a resident in a nursing home, we’re appreciative of books and online resources that can help us understand this memory (actually lack of) condition better. When Mother and Auntie became ill with Alzheimer’s, I had mainly books to turn to. The Internet wasn’t well advanced with information and support groups for us.

So, in order to assist my readers in a better understanding, I try to find resources for them.

Psych Central, which offers information about numerous illnesses, provides many articles about Alzheimer’s for the family caregiver and professional. You’ll find Alzheimer’s explained, caregiver’s guides, overview of the disease, and other resources.

Do you have Alzheimer’s resources, whether online or off, that you find especially helpful and want to share with others?

I discovered Fighting Monsters, Life and Thoughts of a British Social Worker, and found a super list of Alzheimer’s resources in the post, Lest We Forget. In the course of writing about World Alzheimer’s Day, the blogger lists numerous resources about this disease.

You may want to bookmark this blog so you have this list at your fingertips, or jot it down, so you can go back to it for the resources.
