As the patient's primary caregiver or family member, you're probably asking yourself a number of questions: "How should I go about this? What should I do? What's going on?" This section is a mine of useful information that will undoubtedly remind you of your daily life. Every situation remains unique, of course, but certain facts and behaviors can be found in every family affected by Alzheimer's disease.
