How can caregivers take care of themselves?

Taking care of yourself is one of the most important things you can do as a caregiver for someone with Alzheimer’s disease.

Care for your physical health by eating healthy food, exercising as often as you can, and asking for help when you need it.
Join a caregiver support group to connect with others. Look for local services that might be available to you using the search tool at Eldercare.gov.
Make plans with friends and family, keep up with your hobbies, and spend time participating in activities you enjoy.
