Having my lost my dad to Alzheimer's when he was far too young, I know about the toll it takes on families.  Since I lived in other states during his illness, I wasn't able to participate in his care.  His condition deterioriated so rapidly that my mom had no other feasible option but to place him in a nursing home.

For those of you who are currently caring for a family member who has Alzheimer's, I would strongly encourage you to take advantage of the resources avaiable at the Suncoast Alzheimers & Gerontology Center.  In fact, the center is offiering a seminar for family caregivers Wednesday, May 7th between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. at the Hale Activities Center, 330 Douglas Avenue in Dunedin.  Some walk up registration is still available.
