Deciding on late-stage care can be one of the most difficult decisions families face. Families that have been through the process tell us that it is best to gather information and move forward, rather than second guessing decisions after the fact. There are many good ways to provide quality care. Remember, regardless of where the care takes place, the decision is about making sure the person receives the care needed.

How can I tell if caregiving is putting too much stress on me?

Caregiving may be putting too much stress on you if you have any of the following symptoms:
•Feeling overwhelmed
•Sleeping too much or too little
•Gaining or losing a lot of weight
•Feeling tired most of the time
•Loss of interest in activities you used to enjoy
•Becoming easily irritated or angered
•Feeling constantly worried
•Often feeling sad
•Frequent headaches, bodily pain, or other physical problems
•Abuse of alcohol or drugs, including prescription drugs

Talk to a counselor, psychologist, or other mental health professional right away if your stress leads you to physically or emotionally harm the person you are caring for.

If you are a caregiver here is some advise for spicing up the holidays for the elderly and sick and shut-in. One way to make your clients happy during the holidays is by having them see or hear from their family and friends. Try calling the loved ones of your client and enquire if they’d be visiting during the holidays. Find appropriate ways to remind family members that your client is alone and could possibly use a little extra attention. For those clients whose families won’t be coming, try to set up a video chat or have them send a special note or gift.

A word from the Alzheimer's Association.......

Dear Friends,

Our thoughts are with those evacuating or preparing for Hurricane Irma, especially families facing Alzheimer's or other dementias.

A dramatic weather event like this one creates additional stress and confusion for individuals living with Alzheimer's and poses a greater burden on their caregivers. The following tips may help before and during a hurricane:
•Prepare an emergency kit in a watertight container and store it in an easily accessible location. Include easy on/off clothes, extra identification and small comfort items. Use waterproof bags to protect medications and documents.

•Even in the early stage of Alzheimer's, changes in routine, traveling and new environments may increase the risk for wandering and agitation. Stay alert for unexpected reactions that may result from these changes.

•If possible, notify friends and family and share basic medical information, such as prescriptions and physician contact details. Provide updates on your location as you can.

•When appropriate, share the individual's dementia diagnosis with family members and others, such as hotel, airline or shelter staff, so they can better support you.

As always and especially during this difficult time, assistance is available all day, every day by calling our 24/7 Helpline at 800.272.3900. Consultants are standing by to offer personalized guidance, caregiving information and support. If you are able to access the internet, our website at alz.org offers practical tips and resources.

At the Alzheimer's Association, our hearts are with you and we are standing by to help in any way we can.

Sincerely,

Joanne Pike
Alzheimer's Association Chief Program Officer

Happy Independence Day!!!!! During this Holiday weekend, please don't forget your elderly and sick loved ones!!! If you are barbecuing, make time to take them a plate of all of that delicious food! If they are in a facility, be mindful of visiting hours and take family members that have traveled from afar to visit. These kind of things lift their spirits. Even if they don't recognize them, they will sense the love and will be very appreciative of the gesture. There is nothing like having family around during holidays!
