Improving Support for Families and Other CaregiversOne of the greatest costs of AD can be the physical and emotional toll on family members, caregivers, and friends of people with the disease. The changes in a loved one’s personality and mental abilities; the need to provide constant, loving attention for years on end; and the demands of bathing, dressing, and other care giving duties in the later stages of the disease can be hard to bear. Many caregivers must assume new and unfamiliar roles in the family, and these changes can be both difficult and sad. Not surprisingly, caregivers of people with dementia spend significantly more time on care giving tasks than do caregivers of people with other types of illnesses. One of the hardest decisions that many families face is whether and when to place a loved one with AD in a nursing home or other type of care facility. Once this decision is made, families must decide what type of care is best for the person and the family. Many investigators are working to identify strategies that can lead to improved quality of care in various facilities, including adult day care centers, assisted living facilities, continuing care retirement communities, nursing homes, and special care units (separate areas within nursing homes or assisted living facilities designed especially for people with dementia).
