Caring for someone in the final stage of life is always hard. It may be even harder when the person has Alzheimer’s disease.
Palliative care provides comfort care, along with any medical treatments a person might be receiving for a life-threatening illness. When a person is near the end of life, hospice care gives family members needed support and help with their grief, both before and after the person with Alzheimer’s dies.
