Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias affect people’s reasoning, memory, and thinking, affecting their daily lives. Over time, these diseases will make it more difficult for people to perform simple, everyday tasks on their own. It may include bathing, grooming, and dressing. When a person needs assistance with such activities, it can be upsetting. In home nursing and home care services are offered by First Assist Nursing and Home Care Inc. with a guarantee of customer satisfaction.
During the early stages of the disease and as the disease progresses, consider the following tips:
• Keep a routine, such as bathing, dressing, and eating at the same time every day.
• Create a notebook or calendar where the person can keep track of events, appointments, and to-do lists.
• Try to schedule activities each day that the person enjoys.
• Those who need to take medications regularly may benefit from a system or reminders.
• Whenever possible, let the person help with dressing or bathing.
• Clothing with elastic waistbands, fabric fasteners, or large zipper pulls instead of shoelaces, buttons, or buckles should be loose-fitting, comfortable, and easy to use.
• A sturdy shower chair can provide support to someone who is unsteady and prevent them from falling. A shower chair can be purchased at a drug store or medical supply store.
• Respect and be gentle with each other. When you help a person bathe or get dressed, explain step by step what you will do.
• Give people enough time to eat their meals and serve them in a consistent, familiar location.
