Seniors and Alzheimers | November 16, 2017
Seniors with Alzheimer’s Disease | Alzheimer’s disease can come in and destroy memory and quality of life in a short period of time. Imagine the challenges associated with struggling to remember a daily routine, the names of your nearest and dearest friends, and more. It’s quite uncomfortable to greet a familiar face and not be able to remember their name on occasion, but for those living with memory loss disease, it’s almost a part of their daily life.
There are many ways to care for aging adults living with dementia or similar illnesses. In-home care is an option that many families don’t consider until the disease has progressed tremendously. While the decision to bring in a care provider is ultimately the decision of the family, doing so during the earlier stages or onset of the disease can present significant benefits for the senior.
Many families elect to care for their aging loved one on their own and though this is possible, it is okay to have assistance. Caring for someone with memory loss presents its own set of challenges. It can be overwhelming for family, friends, and especially the family member who provides the care. The stress and strain of it all can be emotional, mental and physical. It often helps to have more than one member of the family providing care for the senior and when overnight or long-term relief is needed, in-home care may be the answer.
In-home care providers serve as an advantage to the senior and the family. Seniors living with memory loss disease feel better when they can remain in an environment they are most familiar with, which is primarily their own home.
