Counselling is very effective for helping people with Alzheimer’s and their family members find ways of coping with the disease in the long term to ensure a lifestyle as normal and comfortable as possible for the person and their family.
Counselling allows individuals with Alzheimer’s and their families cope with the negative impact of the disease on their lives by offering them a safe and supportive space to process the loss, develop ways to cope with the patient’s deteriorating abilities, get emotional support, find meaning in the situation, and plan for the future.
The number of sessions would vary from individual to individual, and depends on how much support is required by the patient and their family.
