Caring for your loved one with Alzheimer’s can be challenging, especially when they are in a nursing home. At Lakeside Rehab & Care Center, we understand your concerns and are here to support you.
Understanding Alzheimer’s
Alzheimer’s is a progressive condition that affects thinking, memory, and behavior. It is important to recognize the signs early and adapt your approach as the condition progresses. How can you stay connected and involved in their care?
Stay Involved in Their Care
- Regular Visits
- Make regular visits to show your support and stay informed about their well-being. Your presence can provide comfort and stability.
- Communicate with Staff
- Keep open lines of communication with the nursing home staff. Share key details about your loved one’s preferences and routines.
- Personalize Their Space
- Add personal touches to their room with familiar photos and items. This can create a sense of comfort and familiarity.
Effective Communication Tips
- Be Patient and Understanding
Alzheimer’s can make communication difficult. Be patient, listen actively, and avoid correcting them. - Use Simple Language
Speak clearly and use simple sentences. Non-verbal cues like touch and eye contact help too.
