Alzheimer's and dementia tips for caregivers

Caring for individuals with Alzheimer's disease and dementia is the topic of this video presented by Residential Home Health. For additional information on Residential Home Health's MindCare Dementia Program for Michigan and Illinois dementia and Alzheimer's patients, please call (866) 902-4000. The MindCare program focuses on functional tasks that enable the patient to remain independent at home for as long as possible. It empowers caregivers to promote safety and reduce stress and is guided by evidence-based principles. This video highlights a recent event held to educate medical professionals and caregivers in a framework for dealing with individuals suffering from dementia. The framework includes evaluating the situation and getting in front of the problem. The discussion is led by expert Lanny Butler (MS, OTR), whose research forms the basis for the Residential Home Health MindCare program, and covers several best practices and expert tips for individuals caring for loved ones with Alzheimer's disease or dementia. Butler offers the following caregiver advice: slow down, enter the reality of the dementia patient, and recognize each individual as a person, not a disease. According to Butler, late stage dementia patients may experience up to a 90-second delay in processing information from caregivers, so patience is critical. Residential Home Health president David Curtis explains that the mission for his team of home health professionals is to help improve quality of life and independence at home for those facing any chronic illness, including dementia and Alzheimer's disease. He says it is important to understand there is hope for individuals with dementia. If one of your loved ones suffers from dementia or Alzheimers disease, he or she may benefit from in-home care.
