As a caregiver to move forward on this windy road known as Alzheimer 's disease , trying to maintain the strength and courage in yourself and try to maintain relatively normal things for being loved . If card games are a regular event Tuesday to continue, not just for socializing your beloved , but for their own welfare.
This is perhaps a walk along a favorite trail , shopping at the mall or dinner in a restaurant, should not be isolated or do you need to insulate your beloved. Much later, in the strengthening of the door with the victim of Alzheimer's disease can throw too many barricades even consider a trip to the city, especially when you have help at home to relieve you and you can breathe deeply and freely for a time in the early to mid- stages of Alzheimer's disease , a semblance of family routine is recommended.
Contingency Plan your trip by packing a bag with clothes, clean spills , Extra jacket, and maybe a change of shoes . Create small cards with a simple message: Patience please. My loved one has Alzheimer 's disease .
Check the weather if you do not mind the rain or snow, and to keep the trip as short as possible with a limited number of races and stops. In and out of a car or bus challenge events ; find stops for bathrooms and parking near the destination as well. Easy on yourself and easy on your beloved.
Note that while in the past, including the "past" , like yesterday , your loved one could get in the car , fasten your seat belt and make sure the door is closed, today may be a different scene . I always recommend the dignity , patience added in abundance, so you can help by saying , "Can I help you get that comfortable safety belt " versus " I kidding You are on the seat down and backwards ? , I'll never be put on the seat belt! "Losing patience leads to increased frustration. Increasing frustration moves to anger , confusion and failures.
These breakdowns are stressful for you and your loved one , and never reach a positive end .
Providing means for adjusting the travel if necessary. If shopping is the number one goal of the day, it does first. Take a cooler so you can stop at the shoe store or the park after that time and temperament allow . If walking is what you really need and sounds the most appetizing dinner on the phone , go ahead .
