Alzheimer's Disease

Alzheimer's is a terrible disease for everyone it touches. Caring for a person with Alzheimer’s can be an overwhelming, stressful and seemingly impossible responsibility.

If you decide to care for your loved one at home, you will need to have the necessary support. Unfortunately, the primary caregiver’s health sometimes begins to suffer under the weight of caring for a person with Alzheimer’s disease. In addition, your loved one’s safety may be at risk due to the possibility of wandering.

In-home services like home care workers or visiting nurses can help you manage the care of your loved one. At the same time, you will want to consider enlisting help for day-to-day chores such as housekeeping, cooking and laundry.

At some point it is probably the best choice for all to transfer care to a long-term care facility. Once again, the Atlanta Assisted Living Registry can help by referring you to assisted living facilities specializing in the care of seniors with Alzheimer’s disease and other dementia.
