This photo ran in the Toronto Star in 1990, and showed caregiver Mary Allen, with her mother, Maria Armlento, who had Alzheimer’s disease.
The image ran with the caption “Labour of Love,” and referred to Allen’s concerns about the lack of compensation for full-time caregivers.
More than 30 years later, caregivers for people with Alzheimer’s (as well as other medical conditions) are still telling medical professionals they need enhanced supports for their loved ones.
