How to Care for Someone with Alzheimer’s
If your parent or loved one has Alzheimer’s or dementia, you’ll know that providing care for these individuals is both challenging and rewarding. Seniors with Alzheimer’s want to feel appreciated and connected to their loved ones and those around them. At MorningStar Assisted Living, you’ll find the most comprehensive senior living Littleton co offers for seniors battling memory loss.
Communication with someone struggling with Alzheimer’s may look different from our everyday communication habits, but it is still possible. Not only are these connections possible, but with some tips, you can spark a meaningful connection with your loved one again despite an Alzheimer’s diagnosis.
What is Alzheimer’s
Understanding Alzheimer’s can help you relate to your loved one’s experience and plan ahead for assisted living options and senior care.
Alzheimer’s is a progressive memory loss disease. With this memory loss disease, symptoms worsen over time. Your loved one may experience mild, moderate, and severe Azhimer’s symptoms throughout their diagnosis. As a caregiver, this may make you feel like you constantly face new challenges.
Finding the Right Alzheimer’s Care
A simple Google search will show you the abundant senior living options Littleton Co offers. But how can you be certain you’re picking the right senior care facility for your loved one with memory loss?
You will find holistic memory care methods at MorningStar Assisted Living Littleton Co. This means we accept our memory care residents as they are. If you are experiencing frustration with your loved one due to repetitive questions or prolonged silence and confusion, it may feel like the connection between you two is gone. Know that this is fear talking, and your loved one is still with you.
Nonverbal communication is effective communication. Holding hands, hugs, eye contact, and body movements mean so much when verbal abilities are hindered. Exploring more nonverbal techniques at MorningStar will help you expand this connection further
