When a loved one is diagnosed with chronic memory loss, you try to prepare yourself for what is to come. You know that they are going to need help keeping track of places, dates, and times and you expect their needs to become greater over time. However, what many families don’t anticipate is the potential for Alzheimer's-related anger and even violence. The confusion and disorientation brought on by Alzheimer’s and dementia can trigger outbursts that can pose a danger to both themselves and those around them. Knowing how to recognize the signs of an oncoming outburst and diffuse a potentially volatile situation are just a few of the areas in which our companion caregivers excel. That’s why families across San Angelo turn to us for their Alzheimer’s care services.

Managing Anger with Alzheimer's Care Services

When managing Alzheimer’s-related anger, it is crucial to know your loved one's triggers and have the ability to detect an episode before it arrives. Our caregivers are skilled at not only recognizing what is causing a senior's anger to spike, but also at resolving the situation safely. When it comes to an individual with Alzheimer’s or dementia, gentleness and patience are key, especially in a situation where anger has gotten the best of them.
