Helping Family and Friends Understand the Alzheimer's Diagnosis

At Visiting Angels^® Fayetteville, we deliver professional Alzheimer's care directly to the homes of Stockbridge area seniors. Our support serves many functions, creating a safer home life for seniors while reducing the demands placed on family care providers. Most importantly, our service will allow your loved one to remain in a familiar setting and avoid the added confusion and stress that a move to a care facility would produce. 

When a loved one is diagnosed with this disorder, it is important to understand what they are going through. This will help you to not only make the situation easier for them, but for yourself as well. The first thing to remember about Alzheimer's, is that the effects are permanent. You shouldn't expect your loved one to return to their previous mental condition. These types of expectations will add to their confusion, stress, and discomfort.  

They will experience memory loss, so you need to be prepared. They may even confuse you for a different person, so always remember that it's not their fault. The disease is always to blame. 

With so many difficult adjustments caused by their disorder, it's vital to create a support plan for your loved one. Making sure they have consistent care and companionship is the best way to increase their quality of life. For your own well-being, the best move is to join a local support group, and share your experience with others in your situation.
