If you are caregiving for a person with Alzheimer's, please learn about Palliative Care:  The Science of Relief  "Relieving or sooothing the symptoms of a disease or disorder without effecting a cure."

According to the Lake Sunapee Region VNA and Hospice palliative care can help patients have more control over their care by improving understanding of treatment choices available and addresses symptoms such as pain, shortness of breath, fatigue, constipation, nausea, loss of appetite, loss of energy, difficulty sleeping, anxiety and depression.  To find out more about Palliative Care, go to the LSRVNA at Home website and you will read the how, why and what of this incredible help.  Hopefully there will be this service available in your area.
