This is a very difficult condition to cope with family members over. Are there many resources for the members that have to cope with this?

Contact your local chapter of Alzheimer's Association. They have many resources to assist family members.

Alzheimer's is very difficult to deal with. I have a uncle who has it and he is just not the same anymore. There are many resources out there that help educate and to help you cope with this terrible situation.

check with your local hospital for support groups. We found a family one that helped my little children deal with the "taking" of their gramma

I know. My grandma had Alzheimer's. It was so difficult for the complete family. Our lives were centered around her.
