Everyone knows their ninety-one-year-old grandmother is a little bit forgetful, but what if she constantly forgets why she went into the kitchen? Does she have trouble recognizing your children anymore? What can you do to help her maintain a high quality of life?
If you think that your loved one might have dementia, Alzheimer's disease, or another form of memory-related illness, in-home care can help maintain their safety and overall wellness. So it may be time for some in-home care at BrightStar Care.
What Are Alzheimer's and Dementia?
Alzheimer's disease is the most common form of dementia, a general term describing memory loss and difficulties with thinking, problem-solving, or language. Alzheimer's can make it difficult to handle daily activities, such as bathing, dressing, and preparing meals. Dementia affects people of all ages but is most common in older adults.
Dementia is caused by various diseases or conditions that damage the brain, including Alzheimer's disease, strokes, and head injuries. Having dementia is progressive, which means the symptoms get worse over time. In the early stages, people with dementia have problems with short-term memory, finding words, or completing tasks. As the disease progresses, they have trouble recognizing friends and family members, handling money and medications, and participating in activities they enjoy.
What Are the Benefits of In-Home Care?
When it comes to caring for a loved one with Alzheimer's disease or dementia, in-home care is often the best option. It allows your loved one to remain in a familiar environment and receive personalized care, allowing you to relax, knowing that they are in good hands.
Through in-home care, seniors can maintain a high quality of life and remain in their homes. It is often more cost-effective than living in a nursing home or assisted living facility. Many people prefer it to maintain their independence, privacy, and special belongings.
In-home care can also help ensure that seniors continue to see the same doctor and avoid moving to a new city or state. Seniors may also feel more comfortable aging in place if they have regular social interaction and support from a caregiver.
