Abstract

Caring for individuals with Alzheimer’s disease presents significant challenges for caregivers, who often experience physical, emotional, and financial strain. This review critically examines the various strategies available to support caregivers of Alzheimer’s patients. Interventions are categorized into four primary approaches: educational programs, respite care, psychological support, and technological aids. While evidence suggests that these interventions can alleviate caregiver burden, the effectiveness of each strategy is contingent upon the caregiver’s needs, the patient’s condition, and available resources. Educational programs help caregivers manage patient care more effectively, while respite care provides essential relief to reduce stress. Psychological support, including counseling and peer support groups, offers emotional relief and fosters resilience. Technological tools, such as monitoring systems, assist in caregiving tasks and improve safety. Despite the positive outcomes of these strategies, there is a need for more individualized approaches, as well as policies that better address the unique challenges faced by caregivers. The review concludes with recommendations for improving the implementation and accessibility of caregiver support programs.
