Living with dementia and Alzheimer’s disease presents unique challenges, particularly as these conditions progress and memory loss impacts the ability to complete a variety of normal daily activities.
During the advanced stages of memory loss conditions like dementia and Alzheimer’s disease, a person may no longer be able to participate in traditional routines as their symptoms progress. For these individuals, personalized quality care and comfort are essential to maintaining their well-being and minimizing frustration or confusion associated with memory-related conditions.
For many people, there often comes a time when a close relative is no longer able to live successfully on their own. This often opens a confusing can of worms as families try to determine what course of action is best for their loved one. With so many options, such as in-home care, agencies, family caregiving, and nursing options, it can be hard to know where to start.
On top of that, there are so many aspects of care to consider. Caregivers may need to ensure a loved one receives proper nutrition, will have to consider medication management, or might have to factor in mobility issues. All these factors can be overwhelming, and often families do not know where to start.
Technology can be a great tool for connecting with families, friends and loved ones. Smartphones, laptops, and tablets have become a staple of many seniors’ lives, helping them access information, connect with friends, and stay up to date with family. It’s easier than ever to share pictures of you, your family and grandchildren, watch your favorite television show, or purchase a digital copy of your favorite book. There are so many ways to keep in touch with those you care about through technology through apps, platforms and online programs. You can learn how to protect yourself online by reading our tips on online safety here.
