If an individual is caring for someone that may have dementia it is important that they also look after themselves. Making sure they meet their own needs and get time to relax allows them to give their loved one the best support they can. An individual may not be aware of it but there is also support available to them during these times. They can find further information about what is available to them and the person they are caring for on the following websites.
