In this section, we are pleased to present information developed at the Alzheimer Society of Cambridge which others have found helpful while coping with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias. The intent of providing this information is that you will be able to use it to help yourself and others understand the challenges faced by people with dementia and how best to help them. If you are working in this field, you may freely copy these materials, provided you give attribution of their source. These materials may not be sold.
A holistic look at the everyday experience of a person with dementia:
A brochure with a summary of the caregiving interactions which are most helpful to people with dementia: This brochure is also available in other languages:
An 8 week educational program for people with the insight to understand that they have been diagnosed with Alzheimer disease or a related dementia.
