June Is Alzheimer’s and Brain Awareness Month: Showing Support For Those Living With Dementia
“Alzheimer’s And Brain Awareness Month“ is declared each June by the Alzheimer’s Association to help raise awareness about the disease, as well as show support for the millions of people worldwide living with Alzheimer’s or another form of dementia. It’s also a time to recognize caregivers for the support they provide to those living with Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia.
Alzheimer’s is the most common form of dementia, a general term for memory loss and other cognitive abilities serious enough to interfere with daily life.
Worldwide, 50 million people are living with Alzheimer’s and other dementias.
Allegiance Home Health recognizes the effects of this disease.
While there is no cure for the disease, there are ways to improve the signs and symptoms, such as wandering, depression, anxiety and agitation.
Our Team of Memory Care Trained Professionals will coordinate and develop a plan of care to maintain independence of daily routines within the comforts of your home, facility or hospital.Â
- We are there to assist with bathing, toileting, incontinence care, dressing, meal preparation, transferring and other daily activities.
- A skilled nurse will instruct families and caregivers on strategies to manage behavioral symptoms that may occur.
- Caregiver training and support.
- Both Medicare and Private Care Services are available.
Our Allegiance Caregivers are trained to:
- Provide guidance on new medications, proper dosage, and identify and manage side effects.
- Give a home safety evaluation that identifies potentially dangerous home hazards and helps eliminate them.
- Our Nurses and Therapists can work with you to develop techniques to compensate for some of the memory loss.
