Centro Alzheimer S. Miguel offers regular support to families and caregivers, recognising that dementia affects not only the individual but the entire family system. This support is provided through individual meetings, active listening and technical guidance tailored to the practical challenges of daily life.
The technical team helps caregivers gain a better understanding of the disease and its progression, offering practical strategies to deal with behavioural changes, communication difficulties, resistance to care and situations of greater emotional strain. Guidance is also provided on organising routines, adapting the home environment and planning for future care.
Whenever needed, support is given to refer families to community resources and complementary services, building a support network that helps reduce the caregiver's physical and emotional burden.
