Alzheimer's Care in Montgomery: When is it Time?

When it comes to looking after a relative with Alzheimer's disease, it's always better to be more prepared than you need to be than less. Even if Mom or Dad still seems almost as active and able before, this condition may still be affecting their comfort and health in ways that aren't as obvious. At Visiting Angels^® Montgomery, we firmly believe that it's best to get an Alzheimer's care provider involved as early as possible so you know you have the support you need if and when your loved one needs it. But does that mean you have to call right now? 

How to Tell It's Time to Call Visiting Angels Montgomery

If you need some form of confirmation that it's time to call an Alzheimer's care provider to help care for a loved one in Montgomery, you can start with the following signs:

• Your loved one's physical health seems to be getting worse - They're losing weight because they're not eating well or regularly, have a more hunched appearance, aren't bathing as often, or aren't taking their medications or going to their appointments.
• They're more socially isolated - They aren't engaging with friends and family, or have stopped going to their usual community events.
• They've shown risky behaviors when they're of the house - They've wandered off, forgotten where they were going, or generally expressed confusion about where they were. 
• They just don't seem like themselves - Their personality, appearance, and the general way they conduct themselves just isn't right.
