Alzheimer’s disease is the sixth leading cause of death in the United States and over 16 million people act as unpaid caregivers, estimated at 18.6 billion hours of care. Caregiver investment is associated with personal and relational benefits, but there are also much higher emotional, financial, and physical costs for these caregivers as compared to non-caregiving populations. Online advice is one type of social support that can enhance everyone’s well-being. We offer communication advice for nonprofessional caregivers of people with Alzheimer’s disease and dementia, as available online in 2019 and related to caregiver self-care, relational well-being, and physical well-being.
