Subject: Step #1 for Caregivers of Cognitive Disorders: Diagnosis

I’d like to stress the importance of a proper diagnosis and give you a little more information


Diagnosis & Tools for Empowerment



Dear Friend,

In today’s email, I’d like to stress the importance of a proper diagnosis.

Many people I’ve met over the years in a similar situation as yours, often wait quite a while before getting a formal diagnosis for their loved one. Alzheimer’s is a disease where changes often are recognized slowly, especially when visits are infrequent or relegated to holidays. In fact, it can take successive holidays before family members notice enough of a change in dad or mom to accept the painful reality of progressive cognitive impairment, and ask 'What are the risks?' 'What can we do to help?' 'How do we keep them safe and well?'

If you suspect that your loved ones are behaving differently due to a cognitive disorder, it might be wise to consider contacting their doctor and suggesting a diagnosis. There are cognitive assessments and brain imaging methods to determine the type and severity of . However, if the verdict is positive, it enables you to act in several ways and gain a bit more support and empowerment in caregiving. Among them:

  • Find a support group

  • Research more info about the stages and progression of Alzheimer’s and related diseases

  • Look into mitigation strategies and techniques to make life easier depending on the stage of progression

  • Seek financial assistance through insurance for caregiving expenses

  • Discover products and tools that might help keep your loved ones safer

The bottom line is that the more you know, and the faster you know it, can make a big difference in quality of life and safety of your loved ones.
