Resources for support

Key elements of Alzheimer's care are education and support. This is especially true for young-onset Alzheimer's given its unique challenges. Support groups can help you find resources, gain a deeper understanding of the disability and learn ways to adapt.

Remember, you're not alone. Many resources are available to help you, your family and your caregivers cope with this disease. Options for support may vary depending on where you live.

In the early stages of the disease, be sure that you and your spouse, partner or caregivers do research and make a plan for managing your condition as it gets worse. Knowing that you have a plan that includes support and resources can help everyone in the future.
