Making Things Easier

Are you caring for someone with special needs? A parent with Alzheimer’s Disease? A relative with a mental illness or medical condition? The best thing you can do for the person you love is to stay healthy yourself. An occasional respite, or short break from your daily responsibilities, can offer you renewed patience and strength. You do not have to face the challenges of caregiving alone.

Call the Senior LinkAge Line® at 1-800-333-2433, or a Long-term care consultant at your county to talk to you about your available options. For Alzheimer’s and dementia related conditions contact the Alzheimer’s Association Minnesota – North Dakota of the Alzheimer’s Association.

Home modifications and adaptive equipment can also make life easier.
