Monthly Caregiver Support Article
(As Seen in East Tennessee's Mountain Views Magazine)

Each month, our own Laurie Fox writes an informative and helpful article that is published in the East Tennessee's Mountain Views Magazine. Her articles are slanted especially for caregivers — the spouses and other family members who spend nearly every waking moment of their lives helping to ease the confusion of their loved one and help them feel safe. But there's something in Laurie's articles for all of us, so we feature them also on our site. The article below is Laurie's most recent monthly article, but you can read all the past Caregiver Support articles here.

Help for Caregivers

Caring for a loved one with Alzheimer's or dementia is one of the most selfless and compassionate acts a person can undertake. But we also understand that asking for help can be difficult. Whether due to feelings of guilt, exhaustion, or uncertainty, many caregivers struggle to reach out. The truth is, seeking support is not a sign of weakness – it's a sign of strength. You don't have to navigate this journey alone. Click here or on the image to learn how Our PLACE can help.
