Hazel Klick 's blog ::Grand Rapids disability advocate asks, do best intentions of home health care proposal belong in constitution








               If               you               are               thinking               about               in-home               care               for               someone               who               is               suffering               from               dementia               there               are               a               few               things               you               should               consider.

Each               person               who               suffers               from               dementia               will               experience               dementia               in               different               ways               and               so               their               care               needs               will               vary               from               case               to               case.

The               care               for               someone               suffering               from               dementia               can               range               from               helping               with               finances               and               coping               with               behavioral               changes               to               helping               them               get               dressed               or               prepare               meals               to               anything               in-between.
               Because               the               care               required               can               be               very               diverse               and               can               change               frequently               it               is               important               that               whoever               is               giving               the               care               (whether               it               is               a               relative               or               health               care               professional)               is               prepared               to               deal               with               whatever               may               come               up.

Here               are               a               few               things               to               be               aware               of               as               you               measure               up               the               ability               of               the               potential               in-home               care               provider.
               Daily               Care
               It               is               important               that               a               daily               schedule               is               kept               that               includes               a               range               of               daily               activities.

Daily               activities               help               give               structure               to               the               day,               improve               the               patient's               dignity               and               self-esteem               and               give               meaning.

Daily               activities               should               include               basic               things               such               as               getting               dressed,               dental               care,               eating               etc.

However,               they               should               also               include               other               things               such               as               reading               the               newspaper,               doing               crosswords,               listening               to               music,               walking               any               other               activities               the               patient               might               enjoy.

All               these               activities               should               be               written               out               in               a               daily               plan               or               schedule               that               can               be               referred               to               and               followed               on               a               daily               basis.
               Some               other               daily               care               issues               to               keep               in               mind               are               communication,               bathing,               incontinence               and               depression.

These               are               all               issues               that               the               care               giver               will               have               to               be               prepared               to               deal               with               as               the               patient               will               struggle               with               each               of               these               things               at               some               time               or               another               or               all               at               once.
               Behaviors
               The               in-home               caregiver               should               also               be               aware               and               ready               to               cope               with               behavioral               changes               in               the               patient.

These               changes               can               range               from               small               to               drastic               and               may               include               aggression,               agitation,               confusion,               hallucination,               repetition,               sleeplessness,               suspicion               and               wandering               just               to               list               a               few.

These               behavioral               changes               must               be               dealt               with               in               a               caring               non-confrontational               way.

For               example,               arguing               with               someone               who               has               dementia               about               the               reality               of               a               hallucination               or               suspicion               will               more               often               than               not               only               result               in               further               agitation               and               frustration.

The               reality               of               the               hallucination               isn't               as               important               as               the               effect               it               has               on               the               patient.
               Relationship               Changes
               Another               thing               to               be               aware               of,               especially               if               the               caregiver               is               a               family               member               to               the               patient,               is               that               the               relationship               between               the               caregiver               and               the               patient               will               change               as               the               dementia               worsens               Stress,               anger,               guilt               and               depression               are               just               some               of               the               emotions               that               the               caregiver               is               likely               to               experience               will               administering               care               as               an               in-home               caregiver.

.

It               is               just               as               important               that               the               caregiver               has               a               good               support               system               in               place               as               it               is               that               the               patient               gets               the               care               and               attention               they               need.
