Alzheimer’s & Dementia Home Care

Everyone experiences some memory issues as they age. But signs of dementia include more than just occasionally forgetting that your glasses are atop your head or where you left your phone. A diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease or dementia is devasting to the sufferer and their family.

Adult children of dementia patients undergo tremendous emotional strain. Watching the parent or grandparent you loved slowly disappear before your eyes is heart-wrenching. Adding the burden of personally providing dementia home care for a patient who may forget how to perform basic self-care tasks can be overwhelming. The person coping with the disease may also feel a loss of dignity when their child or grandchild takes on the role of caregiver.

With Alzheimer’s and dementia, safety becomes a paramount concern. People diagnosed with these conditions will forget more than names and personal histories as their disease progresses. They may mistake dangerous objects or substances for benign tools or foods. They may wander away from home and become lost, not knowing who they are or where they live.

Keeping tabs on a person with Alzheimer’s or dementia becomes a full-time job. It can consume family members who already have significant obligations toward spouses, children, and full-time jobs of their own, and they’re often in different cities than their ailing elders.
