Alzheimer’s patients often have spatial/visual problems which may be affected by confusing designs on the floor. One common problem these patients also have is while walking from room to room, they may become confused if the flooring changes from carpeting to linoleum or vice versa, and they may be afraid of taking a step.
Alzheimer’s patients tend to wander off as the disease progresses. They are going home usually, which could be a place they lived in 50 years ago or more. Alzheimer’s patients who can no longer be cared for at home are routinely given drugs to keep them quiet and passive once they go into institutions. I saw myself how my late stepfather turned into a zombie-like figure after such treatment, which was administered because the unit he was in was seriously short of staff and funds, and they saw this poisoning of patients as the only way they could manage.
Caregivers for Alzheimer’s patients must deal with not only the cognitive decline of their loved ones but also the behavioral and psychiatric problems that arise as a result of the disease, such as agitation, aggression and psychosis. It is important to remember, however, that while Alzheimer and agitation are often linked, disturbing behavioral symptoms can often be alleviated without medication or institutionalization.
Caregivers’ mean-centered baseline depression scores and gender were included as covariate’s in the model to equalize rates at baseline. The best-fitting longitudinal change pattern was selected for the first year (logarithmic model) and follow-up years (linear model) (Mittelman et al. Caregivers are scarcer to come by than before, since previously the tight-knit family unit would take care of its own. Due to the trends of sprawling cities and job opportunities in distant locations, the young and restless have moved on, leaving behind the elderly.
Caregiver family members are increasingly in need of an Alzheimer’s support group and training to give the best assistance they can provide. There are several tips that can help an Alzheimer’s caregiver. Caregiver support groups, she discovers, are a dime a dozen. It’s the patients themselves who need groups.
The S-911 Medical Bracelet GPS Tracker., which integrates a mobile telephone system, intelligent alerts and localization via satellite (GPS), allows the Alzheimer patient to be located if they are lost or disoriented and also to establish immediate contact with them. “This new mobile localization system will give peace of mind to the relatives and career of the patient and, at the same time, prevent the dramatic situations that can occur when the sufferer cannot be located and they do not remember who they are.
If the wearer of the S-911 Medical Bracelet GPS Tracker, leaves their habitual geographic area, which has been previously defined by their relatives or careers, the device automatically sends out an alert to advise those responsible for the patient.
Alzheimer’s disease not only affects the patient, it changes the life of the entire family, especially that of the principal career, for many long and difficult years. When the Alzheimer sufferer begins to lose their capacity to recognize their family environment or to forget their name and address, episodes of wandering off and disorientation become a reality and bring with them daily anxiety for all those who care for the patient. In order to prevent the patient from getting lost, those who care for them may even stop going out themselves, which makes it difficult to lead a normal social life. The S-911 Medical Bracelet GPS Tracker offers an alternative solution.
