Four signs a loved one
needs memory care
No one knows your loved one like
you do. You made a promise to them
that you will always be there to take
care of their needs. When a loved one
is experiencing Alzheimer’s or dementia,
however, keeping that promise will
involve making changes.
How will you know if and when
that time has come? A large part of
your role as caregiver is recognizing
the warning signs that your loved one
has passed a point where they need
more help than you are able to provide.
Here are four key behavior changes to
watch for: Isolation (lack of motivation),
depression (loss of social activity/interaction),
forgetfulness (such as
leaving a stove burner on), increased
agitation, anger and aggression.
Experiencing any of the above firsthand
is frightening, and it’s normal
to hesitate because you want to keep
them at home longer. However, caring
at home even with help, is mentally
and physically exhausting. And they
are more vulnerable to experiencing
a serious fall or other life threatening
event. Then you may be forced into
making a snap decision.
The best time to prepare for this
challenging transition is before you
have an urgent need. Start by locating
a good memory care provider in
your community. They will have the
resources and support services you
need to help you and your loved one
become better prepared for the road
ahead.
Our pledge is to protect, engage and
love people living with memory loss.
Porter Place offers regular support
groups and educational events.
