Most often, this involves
Alzheimer's live-in care from a
trained professional.
Alzheimer's Home Care can
nurture the patient and help
provide a safer environment and
better quality of daily life.
During the early and moderate
stages, modifications to the
living environment and lifestyle
can increase patient safety and
reduce caretaker burden.
Examples of such modifications
are the adherence to simplified
routines, the placing of safety
locks, the labeling of household
items to cue the person with the
disease or the use of modified
daily life objects. The patient
may also become incapable of
feeding themselves, so they
require food in smaller pieces
or pureed. When swallowing
difficulties arise, the use of
feeding tubes may be required.
The use of physical restraints
is rarely indicated in any stage
of the disease, although there
are situations when they are
necessary to prevent harm to the
person with AD or their
caregivers.
As the disease progresses,
different medical issues can
appear. Careful management can
prevent them, while professional
treatment is needed when they do
arise. During the final stages
of the disease, treatment is
centered on relieving
discomfort.
