Alzheimer Disease – there is always something we can do to help
14
With my father suffering from Alzheimer’s disease and with such a deterioration on his status on the last weeks, I have been doing a lot of research on the net about the disease.
My mother is taking care of him at home, but she’s already 67 years old and I don’t know if she’s going to handle it for too long. She’s being helped by a person that goes there twice a day to help with the hygienic part.
My father is in bed, can’t even sustain his neck and when he’s not sleeping he is speaking about…nothing. He has to be fed, cleaned and washed.
I read this story and it really touched me. It is about a DVD with exercises caregivers or family in general can do together with the Alzheimer’s patient to keep him active and connected to the world throughout the progress of the disease.
