Loving Care for the Client and Peace of Mind for the Family
Alzheimer’s disease and other types of dementia can be a challenging journey, not only for the person diagnosed but also for their family members and loved ones. Caring for someone with Alzheimer’s or Dementia can seem overwhelming at times, but the more information and support you have, the better you can navigate the demanding road ahead and determine the long-term care options that are best suited to you and your loved one. As you come to grips with an Alzheimer’s or other Dementia diagnosis, you may be dealing with a whole range of emotions and anxieties. You will be perplexed with the thought of your loved ones well being and how much your life will change. More often than not, emotions such as anger, grief and sadness will surround you. Repetitive sentences, misplaced items and basic concern for their safety will become your prime concern. Adjusting to this new reality is not easy.
