If you assume that Alzheimer’s is inevitable for those with a genetic predisposition, research has shown that isn’t necessarily true. There are things that you can do to slow down or even prevent some of the more severe aspects of the disease.
Navigating an Alzheimer’s diagnosis can feel overwhelming, but with Legacy Community Health’s support, no one needs to face it alone. We offer a range of services to ensure that all patients receive the personalized care they need.
In November 2024, we partnered with the Alzheimer’s Association to offer a FREE special presentation on Dementia Conversations, covering topics like driving safely, doctor visits, and legal and financial planning for people beginning to show signs of dementia.
Resources and Support Systems for Caregivers
Being a caregiver for someone with Alzheimer’s and also a significant responsibility. We understand that caregivers need support too and therefore provide resources like counseling, support groups, and educational workshops to help families navigate the challenges of Alzheimer’s care.
If you’re a caregiver, it’s essential to prioritize your own health as well. Consider accessing our behavioral health services for emotional support and speak with our healthcare professionals about ways to manage stress and avoid burnout.
