Allan is a “young” 71-year-old and is caring for his mother, Annette, who is 98 and was
diagnosed with Alzheimer’s ten years ago. Annette is in the late stages of the disease,
has COPD, is mostly bedbound, and needs a great deal of assistance. Allan now
struggles with his own health issues and suffers from the toll of long-term caregiving.
They have a limited income and do not have any relatives who can help.

Until Allen connected with Alzheimer’s Los Angeles, he didn’t know where to turn for the help and support he needed.
However, once connected, his care counselor taught him ways to communicate with his mom that reduced conflict
and resistance. She also gave him resources for a ramp and grab bars to help with mobility and bathing. She provided
Allan with ongoing support, checked in on him frequently, and helped connect him with resources to get additional
medical supplies and medications. She provided financial assistance, access to respite, and let him know about
support groups he could join.
Recently, Allen’s care counselor helped him find hospice care for his mom because her condition has deteriorated.
During this very stressful time, Allan has suffered emotionally, but with the support of his care counselor, he has
connected with a therapist he sees virtually. Allan continues to work with his care counselor on taking care of himself
and advocating for Annette.
