Alzheimer's Society - Talking Point

Sounds really excellent. Hope it doesn’t become one more burden for family carers who have so much on their plates, but I can see that the scheme will only work with people who have first hand experience of what they are talking about. I can imagine it being a real lifeline.

winterwhite I'm confused by your post.
How can a forum where carers can moan, get advice and yes, have a laugh "become one more burden for family carers" ?
Yes it is a life line for carers and in fact has several members who are living with dementia themselves.

Winter white - Having used this forum when my late mother was diagnosed with Alzheimers, I would say it is in no way a burden, but a very useful forum for anyone dealing with this situation. It is definitely a lifeline for many people and is a wonderful source of knowledge and advice for any of the thousands of people who has a relative or friend diagnosed with this cruel disease every year.
