Risk of Burden on a Carer of a Patient With Alzheimer’s Type Dementia in the Family

Abstract

Alzheimer’s disease is a dementia of neurodegenerative origin. Managing care for patients with Alzheimer’s dementia is a serious socio economic and social problem. Everyday care for Alzheimer’s illness is extremely demanding. Adequate nursing care in home care is difficult as a non-professional suddenly thrust into the role of carer does not have the necessary education or skills to provide it.
