Caring for a loved one with Alzheimer’s is hard. As a caregiver, you are now faced with a series of challenges that you probably never thought you’d face. Your loved one may have difficulty remembering how to do simple tasks that you and I might take for granted… everything from how to get dressed in the morning to how to keep themselves clean to even how to eat their meals. What’s more, depending upon where your loved one is in the process, you may hear repetitive questions, you may see odd behaviors, and you may feel trapped in a situation that you could never have imagined.

Fortunately, there are strategies that you can implement immediately to make your life and the life of your loved one with Alzheimer’s more peaceful.

I know that may sound like a pipe dream, but it’s not. I work with Alzheimer’s families all the time and there are strategies that will help.

For starters, I recommend that you listen to my recording entitled, “Caring for and Communicating with the Alzheimer’s Patient,” found at my resource center website. The address is: http://www.alzheimersresourcekit.com/hammond. Just click on the link and scroll down and click on the play button to discover how master Alzheimer’s caregivers take care of themselves and their loved ones.

And while you’re at it, you might also listen to “Preserving Your Mental, Emotional, Physical and Psychological Health as a Caregiver,” also located in my resource center.

And if you don’t have time to listen to those right now… then you can print off the transcript and read about the strategies when time permits. And remember, if your loved one has Alzheimer’s, there are a host of legal and financial issues which should be addressed as soon as possible. These include topics like paying for the cost of Alzheimer’s care, discovering hidden VA benefits that may be available for you and your loved ones, as well as the crucial legal documents you should have in place and the language they should contain. All of this is available in my resource center.
