People with Alzheimer's disease often benefit from moderate exercise. Exercising for as little as 20 minutes every other day can help a person feel better, both mentally and physically, and can help reduce the risk of falls, reduce the risk of wandering and can postpone nursing home placement.

I think my father's in the early stages of dementia. For a man who never forgot names, he's been awful putting names to faces recently, even getting friends and family mixed up. He's a proud man though, and I know he's going to resist seeing a doctor about memory loss. help!

I was always close to my mother. Since I started caregiving for her, suddenly I can't do aything right, while my sister, who's half the country away, is the perfect daughter.
It really hurts. Is this a normal part of dementia?

Caring for elderly patients with Alzheimer's or dementia can be exhausting, both physically and mentally. Often, caregivers take on more than they can handle and end up resenting their patients or neglecting important areas of their lives.
