In this video, Dr. Linda Ercoli educates us about the very real physical toll on caregivers of all kinds – in particular those caring for people with dementia and Alzheimer’s – offering strategies about how to navigate the responsibility without completely surrendering their own wellbeing in the process.

Among the guidance offered is to seek out support, avoid taking paranoias and confusion personally, and simply to ‘let go of the small stuff’.
