GUIDE FOR CAREGIVERS IN CONNECTICUT
 

Did you know there are 76,800 Connecticut adults aged 65 years and older living with Alzheimer’s Disease and 130,000 caregivers?
 

Together, the Connecticut Public Health (DPH) and Aging and Disability Services (ADS) have created a guide with resources to support CT residents who are caregivers of someone living with Alzheimer's disease or related dementias (ADRD) with CT caregivers and people living with ADRD. The Guide includes relevant CT resources.

The Guide includes details on:
 

– The types of dementia

– The warning signs

– What to expect at each stage

– Strategies to improve communication

– Helpful tips for caregivers

– Helpful CT and national resources
