A very nice video to help people dealing with an Alzheimer's patient

Worldwide, 13% of people aged 60 and over require long-term care. Between 2010 and 2050, the total number of older people in need of care will almost triple. It is a data from the World Alzheimer Report 2013.

Almost all policies focus on the sick person, and that's fine with me. But we must also do an effort to help the caregivers of these patients who have no training and find a problem that overcomes them. It is the duty of governments to dedicate the necessary effort to help these people.

I leave you with a very useful video for caregivers of Alzheimer's patients:

    A very interesting decalogue, I really liked the video. I think all caregivers should have it on hand.
    A hug, Pilar 🙂

    excellent video, many times without knowing we force the other person to remember or we stand firm without realizing that it is not the right step.
