Need help finding out about Alzheimer's?

my mam is in the last stage of Alzheimer's and because it's the genetic form and the fact she's only 52 we don't have much help because the doctors don't understand much about the genetic form. we've got this far on a own but we what to know what to look out for now she's near the end but again the doctors can't help

It's called "Early Onset Alzheimer's" which should help your search, but I believe that other than the age of onset, the symptoms and everything are the same. Start with the Alzheimer's Association. They can direct you to a local chapter where you can find support groups and other help. Good luck.

I hope she is in a nursing home? If not, at least a nurse is there to take care of most of her needs?

You don't mention what your mother's symptoms are at this stage. My grandfather died last June from Alzheimer's. Since this is a memory problem (basically) the final stages is the brain not getting the signals to keep organs functioning anymore and forgets to do that. All her organs will shut down, one by one. I hope it's over for her quickly and she doesn't have much pain.

I have just finished with one of My alzheimer's clients so here are a couple of contacts.
