What specific caregiving matters do I need to know? 💚

Caregiving needs can change over time, and sometimes the things that once worked may need to be adjusted.

This video highlights a few practical reminders from Chapter 5 of Simply Caring: Putting the Alzheimer’s Puzzle Together. It covers changes in behavior and mealtimes, safety, medications, mobility, and the importance of staying flexible as needs change.

Caregiving isn’t about having every answer. It’s about paying attention, asking questions, and continuing to learn along the way.

A fall may be telling you more than “they tripped.”

Environmental hazards can contribute to falls, but they're not the only possible cause.

Changes in vision, balance, mobility, medications, illness, or other medical concerns may also play a role.

If falls begin happening, look beyond the obvious obstacle.

Finding out why someone is falling can be an important part of helping reduce the risk of it happening again.

Sometimes small changes can make a home safer.

Fall prevention doesn't always require a major home renovation.

Jamie shares several practical precautions families can consider:

• Keep halls and rooms well lit
• Clear unnecessary clutter
• Wipe up spills quickly
• Use contrast to make steps easier to see
• Consider grab bars in bathrooms
• Choose footwear that fits securely
• Be especially mindful of stairs

Take a fresh look around the home from your loved one's perspective. Something that seems harmless to you may have become difficult for them to navigate.

Safety first — even when the conversation is difficult.

One of the hardest parts of caregiving can be recognizing when something a loved one has always done independently may no longer be safe.

Driving. Cooking. Walking alone. Managing medications. Leaving the house independently.
Protecting someone's safety doesn't mean their independence no longer matters.

It means finding the balance between what they want to continue doing and what they can safely continue doing.

New Blog: What Specific Caregiving Matters Do I Need to Know?

Caregiving often means learning as you go and adjusting as your loved one’s needs change. 💚

Our September blog, inspired by Chapter 5 of Jamie Glavich’s Simply Caring: Putting the Alzheimer’s Puzzle Together, looks at some of the practical challenges caregivers may face, including changes in behavior, safety concerns, mealtime needs, falls, medications, driving, and independence.

The goal isn’t to have every answer. It’s to know what to watch for, when to adjust, and when to ask for help.

Mealtimes can change, too.

Changes in appetite and eating habits can become part of the caregiving journey.

Someone may lose interest in foods they once enjoyed, have difficulty feeding themselves, or eventually experience problems swallowing.

Pay attention to changes rather than assuming they're simply being difficult or refusing to eat.
What looks like a mealtime problem may be telling you something important.

If eating or swallowing becomes difficult, talk with your loved one's healthcare team about what you're seeing.

Medications deserve another look as needs change.

As Alzheimer's progresses, the body and brain can change — and medications may not always affect someone in exactly the same way they once did.

That's why Jamie emphasizes the importance of keeping medical professionals involved and having medications reviewed regularly.

If you notice a meaningful change in alertness, behavior, appetite, balance, or overall functioning, don't assume it's simply Alzheimer's.

Write down what you're noticing and bring your concerns to your loved one's healthcare provider.

Caregiving is work of the heart. 💚

This Labor Day, we recognize the caregivers whose days are filled with responsibilities that don't always fit neatly into a schedule.

The meals. The appointments. The reminders. The planning. The watching. The worrying. And all of the little things that often go unseen.

Today, we celebrate the love, patience, and dedication behind that work.
Happy Labor Day from Almost Home.

What worked yesterday may not work tomorrow.

Alzheimer's brings change, and caregiving often requires changing along with it.

A routine that once worked may become frustrating. A task that was once easy may suddenly need assistance. Something your loved one understood yesterday may be confusing today.

That doesn't mean you've done something wrong.

Observe. Adjust. Try again.

Sometimes flexibility is one of the most valuable caregiving tools you have.

When behavior changes, look for the “why.”

A sudden change in behavior doesn't always have one simple explanation.

Is your loved one uncomfortable? Could they be in pain? Has something changed in their surroundings? Could there be a medical issue? Or could Alzheimer's be affecting how they understand and respond to what's happening around them?

Instead of focusing only on stopping a behavior, pay attention to what may be happening around it.

Sometimes behavior is communication when words no longer tell the whole story.
