Watching a loved one suffer through any form of dementia is always very difficult. It can often leave us feeling helpless, stressed, confused, sad and angry. Though it may not be happening to us, we feel effects from it in someone else. It can be extremely hard to put in the time and effort to care for a loved one when they are going through dementia. Nonetheless, we likely don’t have the proper training, experience, and medical knowledge to provide proper, effective care.
Finding the Best Dementia Care for Your Loved One
Symptoms of dementia may start out seeming pretty harmless or like simple forgetfulness that we have all experienced at some point in our lives. Whether that is forgetting to pay bills, trouble keeping track of a purse or wallet, or remembering appointments. It is important to pay attention to these and monitor if they become more severe and hindering.
The brain is incredibly complex and the triggering of a decline in cognitive function is something that trained professionals are most properly equipped to handle. This is especially true when it gets to the point where the affected person does not have access to 24/7 assistance. If your loved one is at this stage, they can greatly benefit from coming to live at Palm Cottages. We have a full-service memory care unit in our assisted living facility that will specialize in many forms of dementia care and treatment.
