Alzheimer's Care: Tips to Improve Daily Life
When you or someone you love is diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease, it can be the most devastating and overwhelming news. But the more you learn about this disease and the resources available, the better you are able to create a plan for the future.
Here are some tips to help you or a loved one deal with an Alzheimer’s :
📙 Read, read and read: Encourage the senior to read: anything they feel like, a magazine, a book, crosswords, social media, anything!
💭 Talk about the present: Ask about recent visits or events that happened recently. This will force them to think about the present moment.
🎲 Games: encourage lots of games, mind games, chess, bingo, cards. It is fun and forces them to use the brain.
⏰Routine, routine, routine: help them create habits, so they know what is going to happen.
📕Keep things simple. Do not add too many things to do in one day!
😊Focus on their feelings rather than others.
🧘♂️Don’t ever argue or show frustration and anger.
