Caring for Loved Ones with Alzheimer's
If you or a loved one have been diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease or a related disorder, or if you are experiencing changes in your memory, there is help. The first thing you should know is that you are not alone. There is a lot of help and support available. If you have Alzheimer's disease, it's important to understand that your life is not over. Living with Alzheimer's means dealing with some life changes sooner than you had anticipated. You can live a meaningful and productive life by taking care of your physical and emotional health, by engaging in activities you enjoy and by spending time with family and friends.
Living with Alzheimer's
No two people experience Alzheimer's disease in the same way. As a result, there's no one approach to caregiving. Caregiving responsibilities can range from making financial decisions, managing changes in behavior, to helping a loved one get dressed in the morning.
As Alzheimer's disease progresses, the abilities of a person with dementia will change. As a caregiver, we can adapt a daily routine to support these changes with some creativity, flexibility and problem solving.
Handling these duties is hard work. But by utilizing caregiving skills you can make sure that your loved one feels supported and is living a full life. You can also ensure that you are taking steps to preserve your own well-being.
Special Support
Our staff members are specially trained to engage and encourage deployment of skills, gifts and abilities that clients acquired, and/or demonstrated throughout their lives (or with which they were inherently endowed); although they may seem to be slowly waning. Studies show that mental engagement, activity application and challenge help the mind and inhibit the effect of the disease. Such skills and abilities are more apt to be lost in an institutional setting. Our staff of compassionare caregivers are on-call, momentarily present and available day and night in your home.
