    Thank you for this. My DW was recently diagnosed with early stage AD. This map is really helpful for me as a caregiver.

    Thanks Michael,

    I like this way of showing the caregiving. I did something similar and presented it to specialists (geriatists, neurologists, social managers...)  at the hospital here.

    This is actually a great resource for first-time and early caregivers for them to get a picture of what lies ahead; thanks for sharing!
