Alzheimer’s patients and caregivers are in the national eye because of Ronald and Nancy Reagan. Since drugs are not effective for very long, patients and caregivers need to develop holistic and spiritual coping strategies. By reducing stress levels, agitation, depression and overall depletion caregivers take care of themselves and their patients are healthier and happier for longer time periods. Because patients can live with Alzheimer’s for over a decade, caregivers need to pursue a better daily life quality for their charges and for themselves.
