As an MA, one can support caregivers and help them to be involve in taking care for the patient by including them in all the decisions needed in the patient's treatment like they should also know what the patient is undergoing and the interventions needed. Some of the suggestions one can provide to the caregivers with Alzheimer's would be that caregivers should also need to take care of their health to keep their well being. Another is they should have health teaching about what is Alzheimer's and the journey and lastly they should have the support that they need by listening to their sentiments as well.
