Tips from Our Alzheimer’s Caregivers in El Cajon

Provider of Alzheimer's caregivers in El Cajon with elderly patient

Providing care to an aging loved one with Alzheimer’s isn’t always easy. Alzheimer’s caregivers who provide support to family members in the El Cajon, CA area are often unpaid and untrained, providing this type of support to a loved one while juggling family commitments and paid work as well.

At Visiting Angels® El Cajon, we recognize the challenges Alzheimer's caregiver’s face. To help you provide support to your loved one, we’ve created a list of tips to keep in mind when offering care to a loved one with Alzheimer's.

Offering Family Alzheimer’s Caregivers Help in El Cajon

Throughout our years of providing care to seniors in El Cajon and the South and East San Diego County surrounding areas, our Alzheimer’s caregivers from Visiting Angels have sure learned a thing or two about providing care. Some tips we have for anyone offering support to a senior with Alzheimer’s include:

  • Patience. Remember, your loved one does not mean to ask questions over and over or get confused and distracted. Be patient and understanding when this happens.
  • Persistence. While your loved one might have good and bad days, it’s still possible to have meaningful interactions with them. Take it one day at a time.
  • Live in the Moment. Your loved one might get confused about the time and place they are in. Rather than trying to bring them back to the present, answer their questions as best you can to put them at ease in that moment.
  • Spend Time. While you may be worried about getting groceries, cleaning the house, and other day-to-day errands, take a moment to enjoy your loved one’s company and savor the time you have together.
  • Take Breaks. You don’t have to be superman or superwoman. It’s okay to ask for help when you’re feeling overwhelmed.
