๐ 5 Tips for Caring for Someone with Alzheimerโs Disease ๐
At North Star Gems In-home Care, we know that supporting a loved one with Alzheimerโs requires patience, compassion, and understanding. Here are five helpful tips to guide you along the way:
โจ 1. Keep a Consistent Routine
Familiar schedules help reduce confusion and anxiety. Try to keep daily activities like meals, bathing, and bedtime at the same times each day.
โจ 2. Communicate Calmly and Clearly
Use simple words and short sentences. Maintain eye contact and give them time to respond. A gentle tone can go a long way.
โจ 3. Create a Safe Environment
Remove tripping hazards, label important areas, and ensure good lighting. Safety modifications help prevent accidents and provide peace of mind.
โจ 4. Encourage Engagement
Engage them in simple, meaningful activities they enjoy โ music, folding towels, light exercise, or looking at old photos. This supports emotional well-being and connection.
โจ 5. Prioritize Your Own Self-Care
Caregiving is rewarding but can also be overwhelming. Donโt hesitate to ask for help, take breaks, and lean on support systems.
