According to the Alzheimer\u2019s Association, this disease begins gradually and progresses slowly, lasting for 6-20 years.<\/p>\n<p>There is no cure for Alzheimer\u2019s disease, but affected individuals \u2015 as well as their families \u2015 can have an easier time with everyday life with a combination of treatments and the correct support services. It can be a difficult task to care for individuals diagnosed with Alzheimer\u2019s disease because there are new concerns every day.<\/p>\n<p>Family caregivers can easily become stressed, anxious, and fatigued by providing care for a loved one with Alzheimer\u2019s or dementia. But they can \u2015 and should \u2015 take breaks from this by getting help from Assisting Hands. If you and\/or your family needs help caring for a loved one, our caregivers will assist clients who are in the early stages of Alzheimer\u2019s disease.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Monitoring Common Behavior Patterns<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Wandering:<\/strong> Safety is the main concern people have regarding home care. Individuals with Alzheimer\u2019s disease often walk around and wander which can be dangerous. Our caregivers will make sure that they walk around safely and do not leave their residence. We prevent this by locking outside access doors and requiring a key to unlock the door from within. In addition to preventing wandering, our caregivers will work to ensure clients\u2019 safety by making sure they never leave water running or keep the stove on.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Companionship:<\/strong> When it comes to Alzheimer\u2019s care, socialization is very important. In fact, a lot of families have reported that their affected relatives have improved moods when engaging with someone socially. With the way one-on-one care works, caregivers have the opportunity to be companions for Alzheimer\u2019s clients in addition to providing care. Furthermore, caregivers can be present throughout the night, too, which is when clients\u2019 confusion and anxiety can be heightened. We will monitor their behavior as we provide all-night care.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Nutrition:<\/strong> With the memory loss that comes with Alzheimer\u2019s and dementia, it is common for affected individuals to forget about bathing and meals. Our caregivers have been trained to provide meal preparation in addition to personal care. Fearing water is common for Alzheimer\u2019s patients, which makes something as simple as bathing stressful. Knowing this, caregivers keep track of baths and will make sure your loved ones bathe regularly. In addition, we will help clients get to the bathroom safely and monitor these visits to prevent accidents.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Medication Reminders:<\/strong> Elderly individuals suffering from dementia tend to take medications at the incorrect time or neglect to take them at all. According to industry data, medication non-adherence accounts for as much as 33 to 69 percent of hospital admissions pertaining to medication. Furthermore, medication non-adherence accounts for 23 percent of nursing home admissions. Of the 3 billion prescriptions issued annually in the U.S., 12 percent of them never get picked up while 40 percent do not get taken properly. Assisting Hands\u2019 home care aids will make sure clients take their medications in the correct dosage and at the correct time. Additionally, caregivers will monitor medications and can get refills for prescriptions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Adult children naturally want to care for relatives with Alzheimer\u2019s disease or dementia, but it\u2019s beneficial for family caregivers and their loved ones to get assistance from a professional caregiver. This allows family caregivers respite while guaranteeing that your loved one still receives the care and assistance they need from trained and certified caregivers.<\/p>\n<h2>Schedule a Free in-Home Consultation<\/h2>\n<p>At Assisting Hands, we are ready to help those with Alzheimer\u2019s or dementia in Wheaton, IL and DuPage County live safely in their own homes.\u00a0<strong>Call Assisting Hands Home at <a href=\"tel:(630) 634-9316\">(630) 634-9316<\/a> for a free consultation and to learn more about how we can care for your loved ones through our Alzheimer\u2019s and dementia care services<\/strong><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Related Services:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/assistinghands.com\/8\/illinois\/chicagoland-naperville\/alzheimers-home-care-glen-ellyn-il\/\">Alzheimer\u2019s and Dementia Home Care in Glen Ellyn, IL<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/assistinghands.com\/8\/illinois\/chicagoland-naperville\/home-care-lisle\/dementia-care\/\">Alzheimer\u2019s and Dementia Home Care in Lisle, IL<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/assistinghands.com\/8\/illinois\/dementia-home-care-westmont-il\/\">Alzheimer\u2019s and Dementia Home Care in Westmont, IL<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/assistinghands.com\/8\/illinois\/chicagoland-naperville\/alzheimers-care-wheaton-il\/\">Alzheimer\u2019s and Dementia Home Care in Wheaton, IL<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/assistinghands.com\/8\/illinois\/alzheimers-and-dementia-care-at-home-in-woodridge-il\/\">Alzheimer\u2019s &amp; Dementia Home Care in Woodridge, IL<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/assistinghands.com\/8\/illinois\/chicagoland-naperville\/home-care-illinois\/\">See All Served Areas<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When elderly individuals have been diagnosed with Alzheimer\u2019s disease or other kinds of dementia, their adult children and\/or caregivers are seriously affected by the diagnosis.
