in Caring for a Parent
My name is Chris. My dad was just diagnosed with Alzheimer’s this week at the Mayo Clinic. I will be, along with my brothers, assisting my stepmother in caring for him. This is all new and overwhelming at this point. I hope to learn more and find some support here. Thanks!

    Welcome to the forum. If you look to the right of the page you will see a link to Groups, look for the one called New Caregiver help. It contains lots of frequently cited references for those new to this journey. Top of the list is always making sure legal and financial planning is in order. Sorry you need to be here, but you've come to a good place.
