Summary
This study looks at how caring for a family member with Alzheimer's disease affects caregivers' daily lives, emotions, and sense of balance. Researchers will interview and survey 66 caregivers, some who are still caring for a loved one and some who have experienced the loss of that person. The goal is to understand the burden, role changes, and any positive adaptations caregivers experience over time.
