Alzheimer's care plan
Watching a parent develop Alzheimer's disease is devastating for a child who remembers a time when his or her parent was vibrant and had a sharp memory. However, Alzheimer's is a common condition that affects millions of Americans. With such startling statistics, it is clear that to help someone stay organized and on track, you need to develop an Alzheimer's care plan
Where do you begin?
According to experts, Alzheimer's is one of the most adverse conditions one can experience. And because it changes a person's life, it requires ongoing and specialized care. With that in mind, it is important to put together an Alzheimer's care plan that outlines your loved one's needs and how you want them to be cared for.
When putting together an Alzheimer's care plan, it is important to consider a number of things, including a person's interests and abilities, as well as their likes and dislikes. When putting together an Alzheimer's care plan, it is important to organize the activities of a person's day. You will need to lay out a list of activities that are performed at different times of the day, such as during the morning, afternoon, and evening.
Structuring an Alzheimer's care plan.
Ultimately, you want the individual to feel comfortable with his or her daily routine. To do this, you will need to make a list of routine activities that one does at different times of the day. You could detail the first activities of the day in the order that they should be repeated. In the morning, you could make a list of activities, such as brushing teeth, eating breakfast, and taking a look at the newspaper.
You will need to keep activities consistent throughout the day. For the afternoon, you could detail activities, such as taking a look at a book and eating lunch. The activities in your Alzheimer's care plan should be done at the same time on a daily basis.
For the evening, you may want to lay out a list of end of the day activities, such as eating dinner and doing the dishes. Once you have an Alzheimer's care plan in place, it is important to get the individual familiar and comfortable with his or her daily routine.
