Alzheimers and Dementia Care
Alzheimer’s and Dementia have a profound an impact on seniors and their families. As the family caregiver you may feel overwhelmed by the growing need to protect the safety and health of someone you love who is suffering from Alzheimer’s or Dementia. If so, you are not the only one. A 2001 study found that family caregivers often were forced to give up their work in order to spend 47 hours a week caring for an Alzheimer’s patient. That’s a tremendous burden to take on without help.
To minimize the impact of Alzheimer’s on you, the family caregiver, there are a number resources you use to help not only your parent, but yourself and your family.
Start by getting help, you really should not do this alone. According to a 2007 study people who tried to go it alone showed “significantly higher values for worry, overload and role captivity, and a higher level of depression” than people who sought help. You’ve come to Approved In Home Care, so you are on the right track!
