Alzheimer's disease does not change a person’s need for love and affection, but it changes many aspects of a relationship. You may lose the companionship of someone who has been close and important to you. You may also find your role in your relationship has changed. Perhaps the person always looked after the family’s finances and this task has now fallen to you.
Making decisions about financial and legal matters may be overwhelming. You may need to ask family members, friends, or professionals to help you.
We are your compassionate professionals who know what you and your loved one are going through. When the time comes and you start to see that your relationships with friends and family is changing, consider that perhaps they hesitate to spend time with you because they’re not sure what to say or may worry about the person’s behavior. But, it still feels like abandonment and we get it.
If your loved one is diagnosed with Alzheimer's or another form of dementia, it can present a host of challenges and take a significant emotional toll. You may think that the only option for Alzheimer’s care is to place your loved one in a separate facility, but sometimes, senior in-home care for dementia can present an excellent solution. It may even be better suited for the needs of both your family and your loved one. Here are five ways in which Alzheimer's patients can benefit from elderly home care:
Although your loved one may experience memory problems, he or she will be much more comfortable and calm in a familiar place. In-home care allows seniors to stay in the privacy and coziness of their own household while receiving the Alzheimer’s care and treatment they need. Being forced into a new place can be incredibly overwhelming and scary for Alzheimer's patients. It's best to keep them calm whenever possible, and being in a well-known environment can go a long way in keeping them relaxed and focused.
Having a trusted and skilled caregiver on-hand doesn't cover just medical care. Socialization is an extremely important part of any kind of elderly care. Loneliness and depression can easily take hold when seniors are isolated; this can happen when seniors live alone with no assistance or are placed in a new environment with strangers. Opting for Alzheimer’s care at home assures family members that their loved one will have access to socialization and can take part in activities he or she enjoys. Even if you have the medical aspects of care covered, senior home caregivers are available simply for additional companionship, too.
Not only are our Alzheimer’s caregivers knowledgeable and highly trained in dealing with dementia, but they can help your family learn the best ways to deal with your loved one's diagnosis as well. They can provide you with techniques to communicate with your loved one, as well as help you learn how to manage stress and reduce frustration.
Caring for someone with Alzheimer's can be emotionally and physically draining for family members. Alzheimer’s care services can provide a welcome relief for familial caregivers who are feeling overwhelmed or who have put their lives on hold in order to take care of their loved ones. Having an extra hand can help prevent caregiver burnout and will allow you to enjoy the time you have with your family member.
My Caring Companion home care for Alzheimer's can extend beyond the important facet of memory care. Caregivers can provide you with help for medical treatment, upkeep of hygiene, increased companionship, transportation assistance, and more. It can be difficult for family members to do all that on their own while ensuring the best treatment and techniques for a confusing condition. Luckily, our caring caregivers can provide a vast variety of services and can be of help in numerous ways.
