Help Coping with Alzheimer's


Dr. Roy Steinberg, Ph.D. Highly sought out expert in the field of geriatric psychology in diagnosing and facilitating treatment of individuals with Alzheimer’s Disease and other forms of Dementia. His website is Caregiving For Caregivers.

When coping with a loved one’s Alzheimer's Disease or another type of Dementia, it can feel frustrating, sad, at times angry, lost and not in control. For those who feel this way, Dr. Roy Steinberg's process is your compass and your map – educating and guiding you with meaningful information.

What appeals to me in his work is how Dr. Steinberg addresses society's myth that aging is about illness and sadness. Many times, Americans support this misconception. Dr. Steinberg points out in this audio that "this is not, and need not, be the case. Though your loved one's Alzheimer's Disease or another type of Dementia can be a very real part of life, it does not need to define your life." Dr. Steinberg's expertise has helped thousands of people, from health care providers to Caregivers, understand that there is a better, healthier, more meaningful way. That way begins here.

Dr. Steinberg teaches Caregivers how best to equip yourself by: 1) meaningfully and accurately assess whether your loved one may have Alzheimer's Disease or another type of Dementia; 2) give your loved one the best possible care and support; and 3) learn how to "grieve for the living," the healthiest way to truly be an effective Caregiver for a loved one.
