With your comment about lack of expertise, that's why this support group is so valuable. Lots of "experts" available to respond to your questions & concerns. When my cousin first started, I would try reasoning with her then I learned, just to accept, change the subject, agree and move on. No easy answers, but this group has lots of valuable experience.....best wishes

Does your cousin have Early Onset Alzheimer's, that is, diagnosed under age 65? With the way it is named, it is often confused with Early Stage Alzheimer's or MCI.
My husband was diagnosed at age 59 and is now in the severe stages cognitively but physically completely healthy. He tested normally for balance, gait, strength and reflexes. Bloodwork was normal too.
I wish there was a thread specific to Early Onset Alzheimer's Caregivers.
