Resources and Support for Family Members Caring for a Loved One with Alzheimer's Disease

When a loved one starts to exhibit signs of memory loss, it can come as a shock to immediate family members. Most of us don't want to believe that a parent or grandparent is becoming forgetful or succumbing to memory loss brought on by other ailments. Very often, we feel helpless because we don't know how to deal with it.

Dr.David Tal and the experts at Age Matters memory and aging clinic in Toronto want to reach out to the family members of Alzheimer's patients by encouraging close family members and friends of loved ones dealing with memory loss to take advantage of available resources.
