Home Care, Long-term Care, Memory Care Units, and Other Living Arrangements by Karen Hoffman

Alzheimer's disease is an illness that can span decades, and it affects every person who has it differently.

The best living arrangements for one person with Alzheimer's disease won't work for another person with the disease, and what is best now won't stay that way as the disease progresses.

Read this book and follow the checklists to assess and reassess your loved one's needs and learn how to:

• Preserve and extend your loved one's independence as long as possible.
• Safeguard your loved one against common household hazards.
• Discuss driving limitations with your loved one.
• Prevent your loved one from wandering.
• Ensure your loved one takes their medication the right way.

This book shows you how to make the best decisions for your loved one's needs at every step. Early in the disease, this may mean staying in their own home. Later on, home services or a geriatric care manager may be needed. Moving in with a care giver, going to an assisted living facility, or moving to a full-time care facility may also be necessary.

Being prepared and understanding your options will help you navigate these necessary changes.
