Part 1: Amy Gallant, Director for Advocacy and Outreach, AARP Maine and Peter Baker of the Alzheimer’s Association join Ray this morning. The main topic is caregiving. November is Caregiver Month. They stress that Alzheimer’s is not a diagnosis that affects just the person diagnosed, it is a family diagnosis. It is okay to ask for help and it isn’t a sign of weakness, it is a show of strength. They gives some helpful hints to help caregivers and help reduce their stress.
