To be eligible for the study,
potential respondents should have
a confirmed diagnosis of
Alzheimer’s or related dementia
for the person under their care.

“My sense is there must be a lot
of people coping with this who are
alone with it,’’ Hall said.

needed for the study have already

According to Nancy Hall, direc-
tor of health promotions at NSH,
approximately S00 of the
estimated 1,000 North Shore resi-
dents suffering from dementia-
telated diseases are living in care
facilities and 75 use the services of
NSH’s iougterm care program.

“There must be 400 peuple cop-
ing with this condition without
any formal support,’’ Hall said.

She added that there is a two-
year waiting fist for North Shore
care facilities.

Hall and Mavis Standftield,
director of NSH longterm care
program, are therefore attempting
fo contact home careyivers for the

volunteer to discuss their situa-

discover services or support
groups they had not known about.

awkward situation and painful. |

she said.

Professional interviewers will
meet participants at a location
convenient for the interviewee.
The longierm care program can
arrange a home support worker

needed.

The study will be completed in
October and the results will be
presented to the North Shore
