That is true that patience is the key with Alzheimer's. My mom has it and I don't know how to take care of her. I'll have to find a community that can do it better than I can. 6/12/2023 04:45:14 am
A thoughtfully planned aged care food menu ensures that residents receive adequate amounts of protein, vitamins, minerals, and fiber necessary for their specific dietary needs. I find it interesting when you said that the food has to be given one at a time and not fill up their plate with everything when giving meals at an Alzheimer's care facility. It seems that even how the food is served would also have to be planned well by the professionals and the staff there to ensure that the elderly will actually eat them. In my opinion, it will definitely be important that we find a place as organized as that to have the assurance that my grandmother will be getting the nutrients she needs and not end up losing weight or having no appetite. 7/28/2023 12:53:34 pm
It was interesting to know that caregivers should give the person enough time to finish the meal. My friend wants to get some Centrelink advice. I should advise her to turn to an aged care specialist with vast experience in the field.

My LO has been diagnosed with Alzheimer's officially for 5 years. Memory was lost, didn't remember his mother, or past life, acted like a 12 yr old. he was 75, He had some terrible night as he kept asking to go to the bathroom and get up at night. The doctor prescribed a sleeping pill (zolpidem), but it had a very bad side effect on him (delusions and hallucinations) and we decided not to give it any more and went for the Neuro X program that was introduced to us by his primary care doctor, he was on the Neuro X program for Alzheimer’s disease from Uine Health Centre for 6 months. The treatment relieved symptoms significantly, After the treatment he’s all of a sudden back active again, almost all his symptoms are gone, no signs of agitations, his sleeps pattern are back to normal. His memory loss has greatly improved, and he tells stories about his past life, we got the Neuro X program from uinehealthcentre. com Leave a Reply. |
