Helping Family and Friends Understand the Alzheimer's Diagnosis

At Visiting Angels^® Boerne, we offer Alzheimer's care to seniors in Fredericksburg and the nearby regions. As part of our support for your family, we want to keep you informed about what to expect from this diagnosis. 

Alzheimer's will change your loved one's mental process. It is very important that you are aware of this issue, so you can act in a sensitive way. Many people in your situation find themselves unprepared for the sudden changes, and end up creating a more stressful situation for their loved one. 

Sadly, Alzheimer's is not curable or reversible. When their mental abilities decrease, they will not come back. It's helpful to avoid correcting them or expecting them to somehow snap out of it. Taking this approach will increase their confusion and embarrassment. 

They will also experience memory loss, so it's crucial to avoid taking things personally. They may forget a cherished memory that you two share together, and they may even confuse you for someone else. A key thing to remember, is that the disease is at fault, not them. 

Due to all the difficulties caused by this disorder, it's crucial for you to have a support system in place. Our professional Alzheimer's care for the Fredericksburg area is a terrific way to support your loved one while making the situation easier for you. Also, we encourage you to seek additional help by joining a local support group. It is always good to be around people who share your experience and can help you better understand the situation.
