I have spent the last decade working with dementia patients and their families - I’m a lawyer and educator by training and experience but took leave to engage in family caregiving and then stayed on doing it as a professional.

I would urge you to look into the recent research establishing the efficacy of a diet and lifestyle approach to slowing the progression of Alzheimer’s. If your loved one is someone who would be open to embracing a whole food plant based diet absent UPFs and refined carbs and sugar, and becoming active and eschewing smoking, alcohol etc. there is strong evidence this approach can slow progression and even improve symptoms in early stages of the disease. https://news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/2024/07/alzheimers-study-finds-diet-lifestyle-changes-yield-improvements/

Neurologist Dr. Sanjay Gupta did a CNN special on this research a couple of years ago that you can probably find online.

Here’s a good free resource for families of patients with Alzheimer’s disease: https://www.aanhr.org/documents/resources/alzheimersplaybook.pdf[/quote]
