Alzheimer’s Patients Do Benefit from Visits
The Daily Mail has reported that Alzheimer’s patients do benefit from visits from friends and family – and that the benefits continue even after the patient has forgotten the visit.
It is often heartbreaking for the patient’s family to visit, and see the person they love struggle to remember who they are – or even not recognise them at all. However, recent research has shown that patients are left with a lingering sense of well-being, even after the visit has been forgotten.

Judging by the comments left, this has come as no surprise to many people with friends and relatives suffering from this dreadful illness – the majority already strongly suspected this was the case, but it seems to have taken a long time for the medical profession to catch up.
