Expert Answer
The Alzheimer’s Association really is the best place for a caregiver of someone with Alzheimer’s or another dementia to look when seeking local support. To find groups in Palm Beach County, search the Southeast Florida Chapter of the Alzheimer’s Association at: http://www.alz.org/seflorida/index.asp or call the National Help Line at: 1.800.272.3900.
Dementia with Lewy bodies is a particular kind of dementia that has features of both Alzheimer’s disease as well as Parkinson’s. Ask if there is a way of finding out which groups in your area have members who care for someone with Lewy bodies dementia as these groups may prove to be the most helpful.
