Caring for loved ones with dementia requires caring for oneself

There are currently more than 15 million people in the United States caring for someone with Alzheimer’s Disease and over 17.5 billion hours worth of unpaid caregiving! Take some time this month, and every month, to offer a helping hand. You can help spread awareness by talking to others about Alzheimer’s and being a caregiver. Keep doing things you love to do, whether its reading, gardening or trying a new restaurant, it’s important to do things you enjoy.

The holidays from the point of view of a person with Alzheimer’s

Holiday celebrations are generally occasions to look forward to, but for a person with Alzheimer’s, holiday gatherings can be overwhelming. Don’t be disappointed if your loved one with Alzheimer’s can’t be with you the entire day. Another person just recently diagnosed with Alzheimer’s said he doesn’t like to be in noisy environments, a common concern for a person with Alzheimer’s. The holidays will be different when you’re caring for a loved one with Alzheimer’s but it doesn’t mean it has to be difficult.

severity of dementia needs to be considered

Most basic functions including motor and organ functioning are affected as the disease spreads to the cerebellum and then to the brain stem. Care of a person in the third stage of Alzheimer’s disease should concentrate on providing comfort. Soft objects, music, gentle motion including light motion, and aromatherpy are good choices. Even later singing old favorite songs to them may surprise you and become singing old favorite songs with them.
