Caring for someone with Alzheimer's disease is challenging. Resources have been created to help. (NAPSA)—Caring for someone with Alzheimer's disease is challenging, and many people who are struggling to balance this demanding role with their other responsibilities find themselves overwhelmed.

It's important to recognize the signs of caregiver stress, to remember your own health needs and to care for yourself so you can continue to care for those you love.

There are many people and resources out there that can help you through this difficult time. Your support network can include family and friends, support groups, in-home nursing care, day centers, health care providers and residential facilities.

According to the Alliance for Aging Research, caregivers really benefit from reaching out and talking with others who know what they are going through and who have walked in their shoes. Caregivers don't have to do it alone.
