Alzheimer’s, behind cancer, is the biggest fear families have for their seniors. Unfortunately, there is no cure yet, although advances in science are made daily. Understanding this disease is difficult as its effects and progress is different for each person affected. Many families feel out of touch with their loved one as the disease progresses.
Our staff at Community Home Care understands this hopeless feeling. We are here to work with your physician to help you through this very difficult time and ensure the best care for your loved one.
Upon receiving a diagnosis for Alzheimer’s, it is important to begin drug therapy (such as Aricept) as soon as possible according to your physicians orders. Additionally, there are several new studies on drug therapies that show some future promise, such as bapineuzumab. It’s important to provide your loved one with a stable schedule while integrating mentally stimulating elements into everyday life. These are just a few ways to cope with this debilitating disease.
Our caregivers are trained to work with you to manage this disease:
Provide mind-stimulating activities
Let Community Home Care partner with the physician to help your family.
