We have put together an Alzheimer's information site especially designed for Alzheimer's dementia caregivers.
All the information listed in this site came from known authorities and published information, in the field of Dementia and Alzheimer's disease, Alzheimer's research and Alzheimer's medicine.
On the left you will find a list of page links to choose from. Each page is arranged so you can access the Alzheimer's Disease information or Dementia information you are seeking.
Alzheimer's care information as well as Dementia care and some forms of Alzheimer's medicine. Feel free to use this site as your primary information site at no charge to you.
If you are unsure of a family member or a friends state of mind or Mental Health, have them see a qualified Physician. With some of the Dementia medicines on the market today, time is very important.
Keeping the person safe is one of the most important aspects of caregiving. Some people with Alzheimer's Disease have a tendency to wander away from their home or their caregiver. Knowing what to do to limit wandering can protect a person from becoming lost.
Make sure that the person carries some kind of identification or wears a medical bracelet. If he or she gets lost and is unable to communicate adequately, this will alert others to his or her identity and medical condition.
Keep a recent photograph or videotape of the person with Alzheimer's disease to assist police if the person becomes lost.
Keep doors locked. Consider a keyed deadbolt or an additional lock up high or down low on the door. If the person can open a lock because it is familiar, a new latch or lock may help.
Be sure to secure or put away anything that could cause danger, both inside and outside the house.
