Alzheimer's Care in Rancho Cordova

Helping Family and Friends Understand the Alzheimer's Diagnosis

At Visiting Angels^® Sacramento, we provide in-home Alzheimer's care for seniors in Rancho Cordova. Along with our direct support, we also work hard to help local families understand this diagnosis. If your loved one has Alzheimer's, it's important to understand their condition in order to prepare yourself for the potential changes to their personality. 

The most crucial thing to understand, is that Alzheimer's will change their mind and thought process. It's important to be sensitive to this fact, because if you don't adapt to the new situation, you could find yourself accidentally making life more stressful for them.

Unfortunately, Alzheimer's cannot be cured or reversed. Their decreased mental abilities can manifest in many ways, and it's important not to correct them or expect them to somehow get better. This approach will only serve to embarrass them and increase their confusion. 

Memory loss is an unfortunate effect of this disorder, so it's important not to take it personally when your relative forgets about some of the memories you share together. They may also confuse you with someone else. Always remember that the disease is at fault, not your loved one. 

With all the stress and uncomfortable changes associated with an Alzheimer's diagnosis, the most important thing is to have a support system. In addition to our Alzheimer's care in Rancho Cordova, we also recommend that you join some type of local support group. This will help you to further understand your loved one's disease, take better care of yourself, and learn from the experiences of other people in your situation.
