Fortunately, there are 2 hotlines in Switzerland that provide support with dementia and Alzheimer's, where you can get free support. Dementia and Alzheimer's can look like:

• Finding it difficult to speak and focus on what you’re saying
• Using strange words to name otherwise very familiar objects
• Wandering or getting lost in neighborhoods you know well

At the moment, you might feel confused. Nonetheless, having someone to talk to and find support in can help you find the right way to deal with this experience. Reach out to a helpline in Switzerland to share your thoughs and feelings and get support.
