Omega-3 Should be a Must for Dementia Patients
Supplementing with this essential fatty acid in our daily diet is a good idea at any age, but for aging persons experiencing Dementia or Alzheimer’s disease, it should be a must.
Studies show that those who supplement with omega-3 fatty acids on a regular basis perform better on cognitive and memory tasks.
While there is currently no cure for Alzheimer’s disease or dementia, ensuring that the body has adequate levels of essential nutrients such as omega-3 fatty acids helps improve and ward off dementia or Alzheimer’s disease and improve well-being.
Be sure to discuss any plans for taking vitamins or mineral supplements with your healthcare provider to avoid potentially dangerous impacts on your health.
Caring for a loved one with dementia poses many challenges for families and caregivers.
More Progressive Brain Disorders
People with dementia may also suffer from conditions such as Alzheimers’s disease, frontotemporal dementia, Lewy body disease, vascular dementias and other related diseases.
These are progressive biological brain disorders that make it more and more difficult for them to remember things, think clearly, communicate, take care of themselves, and can even lead to personality changes.
The physical and mental demands on the caregiver caring for loved ones with dementia or Alzheimer’s disease can be become overwhelming.
Everyday tasks such as bathing, dressing and toileting may require complete assistance.
Home Care and Teamwork
In-home care if most often the best choice as many families prefer to keep their loved one at home so they can remain in familiar surrounding with less disruption to their routines, resulting in reduced confusion.
At Assisting Hands® Home Care, we believe in using a team approach that includes coordination with doctors, nurses, social workers, therapists, family members, and others involved in our client’s healthcare needs.
Our caregivers and are trained to adapt to the changing needs of the patient because no two people experience dementia in the same way.
Omega-3 fatty acids helps improve symptoms of Dementia and our caregivers can encourage and remind patients to take them regularly.
As a result, there’s no one approach to caregiving.
Our main goal is to improve quality of life for both the patient and family.
