What Every Senior in Edmonton, AB, Needs to Know About Disease Management<\/h2>\n\n\n

Helping Seniors Who Suffer from Alzheimer\u2019s<\/strong> | According to the Alzheimer\u2019s Association, there are over 5 million people in the U.S. over 65 years old with this devastating disease. Alzheimer\u2019s disease causes thinking and memory issues, as well as behaviour changes that eventually affect an adult\u2019s work, family, and social relationships. Even basic activities of daily living become problematic.<\/span><\/p>\n

Chronic Conditions in Alzheimer\u2019s Patients<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

People with Alzheimer’s Disease in the U.S. have chronic health issues just the same as other older adults. People with dementia usually suffer from at least one other chronic disease or health condition. Other common medical problems include heart disease, diabetes, stroke, arthritis, chronic skin ulcers, and retinal disorders.<\/span><\/p>\n

Managing Health<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

Memory loss, lack of judgment, and inability to reason make healthcare management impossible. For example, an Alzheimer’s patient won\u2019t be able to follow pharmaceutical or nutritional instructions, and they also won\u2019t recognize when conditions are worsening.<\/span><\/p>\n

Caregivers Can Help<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

As a caregiver of an Alzheimer’s patient, you may be able to lower the discomfort from chronic disease by overseeing the older patient\u2019s safety and nutrition. You can also make provisions for adequate exercise and sleep.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Four Tips for How Caregivers Can Help<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Tip #1. Living Area<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

Be sure living areas are safe. Since senior falls are common, secure a grab bar in at least the bath area. A shower bench will allow the adult to be safely seated during a shower.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tip #2. Diet<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

Provide healthy food. The elderly patient needs healthy foods, especially for diabetes, high blood pressure, and cholesterol.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tip #3. Exercise<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

Encourage adequate exercise. Chronic conditions become more challenging as the disease worsens. The patient can use a stationary bike, exercise balls, stretch bands, or walk.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tip #4. Sleep<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

Resolve sleep issues if possible. Sleeping through the night can be challenging for seniors with Alzheimer’s. Create a comfortable sleep environment to promote restful sleep, with regular sleeping and waking times.<\/span><\/p>\n

Additional Things to Consider About Alzheimer’s<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

Someone with Alzheimer’s Disease cannot give details about additional symptoms or problems with medications. Remember that Alzheimer\u2019s patients can\u2019t tell you if something hurts so you need to pay attention as to whether there are noticeable signs of pain or discomfort.<\/span><\/p>\n

Consult with the Alzheimer’s patient\u2019s medical specialist for information and additional help. When working with an older adult suffering from Alzheimer\u2019s disease, surround yourself with others who care, too.<\/span><\/p>\n
