New Section On MayoClinic.com For Alzheimer’s Caregivers: How to Cope

In the early stages of Alzheimer’s disease, individuals may still be able to perform the daily tasks necessary to live and function independently. As the disease progresses, these responsibilities increasingly fall to the caregiver.

The feature offers a number of practical tips that can make providing care easier.
