CARING FOR THE CAREGIVERS

It's National Family Caregivers Month

[link removed]

Dear Friend,

November is National Family Caregivers Month. As we enter a
season of gratitude, we want to take a moment to show our appreciation
for the nearly 11 million Americans providing unpaid care for people
living with Alzheimer's disease or another dementia.

In 2023, unpaid dementia caregiving
accounted for 18.4 billion hours of care in the United States, valued
at an estimated $347 billion. This level of care can be physically,
mentally and emotionally demanding - with over 70% of dementia
caregivers reporting high levels of stress while managing care.

As we approach the holidays, one of
the most meaningful gifts you can give a caregiver is time. Just a
small break each day can help reduce stress and prevent burnout. Here
are a few thoughtful gift ideas for caregivers:

*
Assist with household tasks like
cleaning, cooking or yard work to offer a much-needed rest.
*
Provide gift cards for services
such as meal delivery, laundry or personal care.
*
Share books on caregiving,
self-care or something on a caregiver's "must-read" list.
*
Offer self-care items such as
moisturizers, bath bombs or pampering services.

At the Alzheimer's Association, we
have many important resources for people living with Alzheimer's or
another dementia and their caregivers as they face this disease:

Free 24/7 Helpline (800.272.3900)

Our free 24/7 Helpline is available around the clock, 365 days
a year. Through this free service, specialists and master's-level
clinicians offer confidential support and information to people living
with the disease, caregivers, families and the public.

Caregivers deserve a community they can turn to when their
situation becomes overwhelming. We are devoted to fostering that
community. It's just one part of our mission to lead the way to end
Alzheimer's and all other dementia - by accelerating global
research, driving risk reduction and early detection, and maximizing
quality care and support. For more information on what the Association
