Monterey, CA Caregiving For A Family Member Can Take A Team, Particularly If They Have Alzheimer’s

Providing caregiving for a family member can be physically and mentally exhausting, particularly if they have Alzheimer’s disease or some other sort of dementia.  At least one in five Americans provides unpaid care to family members in the home, according to a 2020 National Alliance for Caregiving/AARP report.  Fortunately, technology has increased the care options with free apps such as CareZone, Mediasafe and MyMeds which can reduce medication management safety issues.  Wearable technology like Apple and Android smartwatches let the user take and send calls and texts from their wrist, with emergency communication, health tracking, alerts, fall detection and GPS tracking options.  And the app market seems to change on almost a daily basis.
