Dementia is not normal aging. While common in older adults, it is not a normal part of getting old.

Dementia is a decline in mental ability that interferes with one’s daily life, including memory loss, poor judgment, and confusion. It is not one single disease, however, it is a group of symptoms caused by physical changes in the dementia impaired brain. 

A few common symptoms of dementia include: memory loss, communication trouble, disorientation, poor judgment, and behavior changes. 

Dementia is progressive BUT there are treatments and services that focus on managing symptoms that will slow cognitive decline and improve one’s daily quality of life.

Would you like to remain in your home as you continue to grow older?

Today’s session involves a couple that would like for the Husband to remain in their home as he continues to progress throughout the dementia stages. The goal of the Dementia Care Specialist is to provide the necessary home modification recommendations in order for the dementia patient or older adult to age in place safely.

Staying in your own home as you get older is called “aging in place.”But many older adults and their families have concerns about safety, getting around, or other daily activities. 

During our session today, information was provided to this couple regarding Home- based care, which includes health, personal, and other support services to help this husband remain in his home and live as independently as possible, while receiving the appropriate dementia care.

If you are looking to learn more about Home-based care and other services in your community and to find out cost affiliated with the services, please call us today. Planning ahead also gives you time to set up your home to meet your needs as your age. 

WE SUPPORT AGING IN PLACE ❤️

Anytime I am conducting caregiver support sessions on dementia, it is very important to point out the following tenets. These tenets serve as a guiding rule for behavior, decision making, and core values.  These five tenants are useful for any caregiver providing care to a loved one who is living with dementia or Alzheimer’s disease. 

1. Make the physical environment work. Simplify the environment. Accommodate perceptual loss by eliminating distractions.

2. Know that communication remains possible. Remember that the emotion behind failing words is far more important than the words themselves. It needs to be validated. Although many losses occur with this disease, assume that the dementia patient can still register feelings that matter. 

3. Focus only on remaining skills. Value what abilities remain. Help the dementia patient compensate for any lost abilities without bringing them to his or her attention.

4. Live in the dementia patient’s world. Never question, chastise, or try to reason with the patient. Join him/her in their current “place“ or time, wherever that may be, and find joy with them there. 

5. Enrich the dementia patient’s life. Create moments for success; eliminate possible moments of failure, and praise frequently and with sincerity. Attempt to find humor wherever possible. 

If you are interested in attending one of these sessions, reach out to me today!

Our Caregiver Support Groups provide education, encouragement, and a safe space for caregivers to share and grow.

As your trained and neutral elder care mediator, my goal is to facilitate discussions among family members regarding aging related healthcare, financial matters, and living arrangements. My primary objective is to help families reach a collaborative consensus while preserving relationships and prioritizing the aging individuals needs.

A few topics that I handle daily during my elder care mediation groups are: housing, finances, medical care, and safety and mobility. 

Do you need a surrogate family member to help navigate and communicate when you or your other family members are not in a position to assist your elderly family member personally?
Do you need someone who can facilitate communication about the sensitive conversations which surround decision-making to prepare the import documents and transitions which will protect the best interest of the elder? 

If you have answered “yes” to either of these questions, it is highly recommended that you reach out to our office to schedule a free consultation to discuss moving forward with addressing solutions to you and your loved one’s needs.

Abuse can happen to anyone, no matter the person’s age, s*x, race, religion, or ethic background. Each year, hundreds of thousands of adults over the age of 60 are abused, neglected, or financially exploited. This mistreatment is called ELDER ABUSE.

Abuse can happen anywhere, including in the older person’s home, a family member’s home, an assisted living facility, or a nursing home.

The mistreatment of older adults can be by family members, strangers, health care providers, caregivers, or friends.

To learn more about spotting the signs of ELDER ABUSE contact us memories4lifeconsulting.com

As we embark on Mental Health Awareness Month, I would like to increase awareness to the connection of ANXIETY and DEMENTIA.

Did you know that long-term anxiety triggers stress hormones that damage neurons, raising dementia risk and other health problems? This type of stress level, accelerates cognitive decline due to hormone damage.

For individuals living with chronic anxiety, studies show that they are 2.8 times more likely to develop dementia in 10 years. Those with new onset anxiety, 3.2 times more likely.

Overall, chronic anxiety leads to health issues, such as cardiovascular disease, weight gain, and brain cell damage. All of these increase one’s risk for dementia.

To learn more about managing your anxiety and brain health, schedule your free consultation today memories4lifeconsulting.com and allow us to assist with decreasing your risk for dementia.

Remember, DEMENTIA is a cluster of symptoms that CAN be treated.
