If your loved one is in the early stages of Alzheimer’s, assisted living suites can be a good choice to provide comprehensive care in a home-based environment. For many still in the beginning stages, having a routine that is close to normal as possible is essential. Anxiety, confusion and isolation can all lead to increased stress. In a home environment, care can be provided around the clock by fully trained professionals, without leaving the comfort of home or needing to be moved to a frail care unit. Keep reading to find out what to consider when choosing assisted living suites for Alzheimer care.
Patient care.
It goes without saying that patient care should always be the top priority. Your chosen estate should have a team of highly skilled nurses and healthcare workers who have experienced in assisting Alzheimer’s patients. They should be not only able to provide full care but also make patients feel at ease. This is the best way to help patients adjust and reduce stress as much as possible.
Facilities.
One benefit to choosing a retirement estate such as Val de Vie Evergreen is that it has access to a range of facilities, including medical and healthcare facilities. In a home care environment, equipment is provided. In the event of a fall or any medical issues, patients should be able to access the care they need quickly and easily. With that in mind, make sure that you choose suites that are able to provide all the facilities needed for complete medical care.
Services.
Finally, it is also important to consider the services that are offered. For Alzheimer’s patients, it is essential to have a combination of healthcare services as well as services that help to engage patients, keep their minds active and help them communicate with loved ones. When one half of a couple is dealing with this disorder, it can be very frightening trying to come to terms with the illness – especially during the early stages when memory and behaviour are not consistent. Having professional services within reach will greatly help to make the process easier for both patient and spouse.
Offering a range of services and facilities that meet the needs of all seniors, Val de Vie Evergreen offers premium luxury assisted living suites for Alzheimer patients and their partners.
