    Caring for a loved one with Alzheimer's can be emotionally difficult as their memory and personality gradually disappear over time. Family caregivers feel a sense of responsibility but also sadness that their time with the patient is limited. It is important to cherish small moments of connection like smiles and jokes. When dealing with an Alzheimer's patient, caregivers should avoid overstimulation, insisting on tasks, and taking comments personally while limiting choices to reduce stress.
