The Health and Well-Being Challenges of Dementia Caregivers

Caregivers of persons with dementia, especially spouses who are 24/7 caregivers, often experience worse health than the spouse they care for. Adult children caring for a parent or parents with dementia also experience high stress levels.

Caregiving expert Pamela D Wilson shares information about stress and aspects of being a dementia caregiver that include the importance of family and social support, caregiver loneliness, blended family care challenges, and being the spouse who may survive the spouse with dementia.
