Alzheimer’s Care for Seniors
If you are the primary caregiver for a senior with Alzheimer’s, here are several important factors to consider as you develop their care plan:
- Prepare for the future: Adjusting to an Alzheimer’s diagnosis takes time and can be overwhelming for both the caregiver and the person with the disease. During the early stages, you may notice your loved one becoming forgetful or having difficulty with everyday tasks. This is the right time to start planning for their long-term care.
Planning should include organizing legal documents, estimating financial costs for care, preparing a list of emergency contacts, and creating a care schedule detailing who will provide care, when, and how often. - Be patient and offer support: As Alzheimer’s progresses, you may find your loved one’s behavior frustrating. Remember, these changes are not intentional. It’s crucial to be patient and to allow yourself time to process the challenges. Reconnect with your loved one through their favorite activities, games, or old family memories.
- Stay in contact with the doctor and seek support: Keep the doctor informed of any behavioral changes or new symptoms. Documenting these changes will assist in monitoring the disease’s progression and help the doctor determine the most effective treatment.
Maintaining a stable, familiar routine for your loved one can help reduce confusion and anxiety. A caregiver can provide several additional benefits, such as:
- Helping keep your loved one’s mind active with structured routines, memory exercises, and enjoyable activities.
- Continuously monitoring the progression of the disease to ensure the care plan remains effective.
- Running errands, assisting with household tasks, and providing help with personal hygiene.
- Educating family members and visitors on how to interact with your loved one in the most supportive way.
