Care partners support individuals living with early-stage Alzheimer's or another dementia
|
|
|
Care partners play a significant role in the early stage of Alzheimer's to provide support and companionship to those with the disease. If you're caring for someone living in the beginning stage of Alzheimer's or another dementia, your support may help the person share their diagnosis with others, plan for the future and stay engaged.

People with dementia may sometimes repeat statements and questions
|
|
|
A person with Alzheimer's may do or say something over and over — like repeating a word, question or activity — or undo something that has just been finished. In most cases, he or she is probably looking for comfort, security and familiarity. People with dementia who ask questions repeatedly may be trying to express a specific concern, ask for help or cope with frustration, anxiety or insecurity.
