Rayna Neises, ACC, host, and Karen Weaver, PCC, co-host, take some time to reflect on Rayna’s caregiving journey with both of her parents who had Alzheimer’s. She also shares details on her book.
- When memory is a concern, it is natural to think of the worst possible outcome.
- Alzheimer’s impacts people differently and is not just memory problems. Mom struggled with:
- Visual processing that affected depth perception
- Losing verbal skills
- Hallucinating
- When caregiving, help to do what is needed vs. trying to be their parent.
- The difficult step of taking the keys away can be eased by providing rides and allowing the person to remain active. Seek out companies that provide this service or utilize ride shares.
- Watch for charities taking advantage by asking over and over for donations.
- Review plans every six months to ensure things are working well for all involved.
- Helping to care for your parent can provide the opportunity of spending time together allowing you to enjoy them and have fun.
