Whitehall OH Dementia and Alzheimer’s In Home Care

Alzheimer’s and Dementia Care for the Whitehall Area

As we age, we go through a lot of changes in our lives. Most of them are good, but some of them take their toll on our lives. Among these problems are dementia and Alzheimer’s Disease. Because there is no known cure for either ailment, it is important that those that are suffering receive the care they need as the symptoms become more prevalent.

Two things you need to look out for are agitation and confusion. If your elderly loved one begins to exhibit either one of these traits, consider seeking medical help from their doctor. From there, also think about contacting an elderly home care company like Assisting Hands. Our caregivers are fully trained on how to assist those with dementia and Alzheimer’s and can be there for your elderly loved one when you simply cannot.

We have been proud to be a part of the Whitehall OH area for a number of years. In that time, we have helped countless seniors be able to live out their lives from the comfort of their own homes by providing them with a caregiver that can assist them with all facets of their lives. If your senior loved one shows signs of dementia, our caregivers will provide companionship, including memory exercises specifically designed to lessen the effects of dementia on the brain.

Symptoms to Watch For

It is important to understand what these two debilitating diseases are before trying to figure out if your loved one is showing signs of suffering from them. Dementia is a universal term that is used for a number of different mental diseases. Alzheimer’s is a specific form of dementia, and the most common. If you are able to see symptoms in your loved one early, you will be able to get them treatment early as well, giving them a better chance at living with it. You will also be able to plan for the future. You should look for signs of:

• Memory Loss
• Incontinence
• Agitation
• Wandering

The caregivers at Assisting Hands are trained to be able to help those that show these symptoms, even as they worsen over time.
