Can you take your adult sibling to his or her doctor? They can do a memory test on him or her without her knowing it, because they’ll just ask your sibling random questions to test their memory. That’s the first step to getting a diagnosis.

Next you need to call the Alzheimers Association 800 number. They service every city in all 50 states. They have social workers on call 24 hour seven days a week who will answer your questions, And who can also email or mail you resources available to your sibling in your city to help you the caregiver and help your sibling: such as insurance paid for nursing services where a nurse will come over do housekeeping laundry and showering of your sibling for you.

This is also something your sibling’s doctor can write a referral For so that your siblings insurance will cover the service.
