Health Tip: Alzheimer’s and the Holidays
By LadyLively on December 25, 2017
The holiday season can be stressful, especially for people with dementia and Alzheimer’s disease.
The U.S. National Institute on Aging offers holiday suggestions for Alzheimer’s caregivers:
- Show a photo of a holiday guest to the person a week before the guest’s arrival. Each day, explain who the visitor is while showing the photo.
- Before the visitor arrives, set up a phone call between your loved one and the visitor.
- Stick to daily routines as much as possible.
- Give the person with Alzheimer’s plenty of time to rest.
