Hia, I'm Cate, I'm here to just get some help for myself to be able to cope with having a family member who is living with Alzhiemers, my grandma got diagnosed in 2021 and it was only on-set then but now I think it's progressing quickly due to other complications she has going on in her life
My grandma has Alzhiemers

Well done on finding this site, Izzy! My mum had vascular dementia - and the advice and support I got from members here was invaluable. Now my OH has Alzheimer's and I'm finding the same benefits.
Whatever your question, there will be somebody here who either knows the answer or can direct you to someone who does - and if you want to rant or off-load, we have very wide and waterproof shoulders!

Thanks @Grable - I found this site 2003 so have been gleaning the benefits of it for a long time! It’s good to know that others feel the same!
And another welcome from me too @CateCodieLeigh to this friendly and supportive forum. I am glad you have found us.
I'm sorry to read about your grandma. It's tough for sure , as on-set progresses, to see a loved one slowly decline in health. I do feel for you.
You'll never be alone here on this forum - bags of understanding and support to be found here, Also it's a great place to let off a bit of steam, as and when you may need to.
