Learn more about how to support a family member or friend who has heartbreaking and often confusing memory loss and dementia. We treat various types of dementia, which include social and cognitive symptoms that are adverse to cognitive processes.
For the Caregivers
- Gain a working knowledge of how to care for someone in various stages of dementia, as well as Alzheimer’s disease.
- Share responsibilities for taking care of the patient with healthcare and home services instead of trying to do everything yourself or as a household. There is benefit in hiring experts in medical care when it comes to memory care.
- Learn to have patience with the individual who has memory loss.
- Be flexible in taking care of the person as their condition declines.
- Support the rest of the family at this time by taking it easier than usual and being less strict.
- Rest up — a healthy night’s sleep on a regular basis boosts your immunity.
- Eat a diet that supports you and your busy schedule, especially as you experience more emotional and physically exhaustion from taking care of your loved one.
For the Loved One
- Set aside items that the person with dementia or memory loss uses quite often in a centralized location.
- Maintain a routine in the home so the individual is not easily disrupted.
- Stay consistent with scheduling, order of the home, etc. so there are few sudden changes.
- Be direct and provide hints instead of being blunt or overly intrusive with the person suffering from memory loss.
- Use a calendar and notepad for writing down important information, especially medication schedules and phone numbers.
- Avoid correcting them or being annoyed if the person is forgetful, as this is a symptom of dementia.
- Provide the individual with nutritious foods that can slow the decline of age-related dementia.
