Involve the Family in Care Planning

Include the immediate and extended family in care planning to help the whole family understand the potential impact Alzheimer's disease will have on their life and the life of their loved one.  Involving the whole family in discussions and decisions regarding financial and legal planning, including estate planning, before the disease progresses significantly will allow the patient to clearly express his or her wishes regarding their care.
