Alzheimer's New Jersey

Behavioral changes in Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia can pose concerns for family caregivers. As the disease progresses, behavior often becomes the primary way people with the disease communicate their needs. Learn why people with Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia experience behavior changes, what those behaviors mean, and how to cope when behaviors are challenging.

The decision to place a loved one with dementia in a residential care facility can be difficult, confusing, and fraught with understandable emotion. There are many issues to consider. Is there a "right" time for residential care placement? What are the different terms used to describe residential care settings? Is specialized memory care needed? What questions should be asked when evaluating a particular care option? This program is intended to assist and guide caregivers through the process of considering residential care placement for a loved one with dementia and to help caregivers make an informed decision. The importance of planning ahead will also be discussed.
