Caring for the caregiver

Abstract

At the MGH FTD Unit, we understand that every patient we meet has a unique support system and exists within that network, family or friendship. We know that having caregivers who are informed and supported can make all the difference in patient care and have witnessed the power of tenacious advocates. We are consistently awed by the strength, perseverance and love that caregivers share every day. Strong partnerships with the Association for Frontotemporal Degeneration, the Boston-area FTD Support Group and the Alzheimer's Association ensure that we will refer caregivers for support, information, and a new community where they will feel respected and welcomed.
