Alzheimer’s Care
Alzheimer’s is a disease that can progress and aggravate memory loss. It can cause brain cells to degenerate away and die. Symptoms usually develop slowly and get worse over time and unfortunately, has no cure. It’s known to disrupt a person’s ability to function independently. People with Alzheimer’s disease may need round the clock care, and may be incontinent, aggressive, or wander a lot.
A person with Alzheimer’s might become agitated when simple tasks become difficult. This can also affect the patient’s loved ones. Our caregivers at Loving Hearts Private Care, Inc. are trained specifically in the care of Alzheimer’s. Alzheimer’s caregiving requires patience and flexibility. Alzheimer care allows your loved one to maintain the independence of their daily routines in the comfort of familiar surroundings. Research has shown that familiar surroundings play an important role in the well-being of those with Alzheimer’s.
