How Can Family Support a Father with Alzheimer's?
Q. My father has recently received an Alzheimer's diagnosis and is deeply affected. How can our family support him during this challenging time?
A: Alzheimer's is a challenging diagnosis, evoking much fear due to the absence of a cure. As a family, encourage open discussions about his feelings.
Accompany him to Alzheimer's support groups for additional support. Reassure him of your steadfast presence throughout this journey and ensure his safety.
Assist him in updating necessary legal documents for peace of mind.
Educate yourselves about Alzheimer's through community resources and the Alzheimer's Association.
Spend quality time together, focusing on positive experiences and creating lasting memories.
Proactively plan for his future needs together as a family.
For ongoing care, considering live-in dementia care or hourly dementia care services could also be beneficial. These services can provide specialized support tailored to his needs, ensuring he receives consistent and compassionate care whether it's around-the-clock or on an hourly basis. Spending quality time together and planning for his future needs are also essential components of our support strategy.
