Ten Absolutes of Alzheimer’s CaregivingBy Ava M. Stinnett

Whether it happens gradually or overnight, there’s a distinct possibility that one day you willbecome a caregiver for a loved one. It may be for a parent, a spouse, or even one of yourchildren. According to the National Alliance for Caregiving, there are more than 65 million unpaidcaregivers of adults aged 65 or older in the United States. Often, there’s very little preparationfor the daily challenges that caregivers face, particularly if your loved one has Alzheimer’sdisease or another form of dementia.

There are numerous city and state education programs and services to address theneeds of those who provide long-term care for loved ones at home. You’ll also find manyexcellent books that address the topic of caregiving. The Alzheimer’s Association, the FamilyCaregiver Alliance, A Place for Mom, and Eldercare Locator are just a few of many onlineorganizations that provide information and links to support groups. Talking with medicalprofessionals about changes in diet, exercise, medication, and ways to stay mentally activecan also be of benefit. There are practical questions, such as how to manage doctor’sappointments, insurance paperwork, and how to take time off of work.

In this age of information overload, of having too much information leading to whatpsychologist David Lewis refers to as “information fatigue syndrome,” here’s a list of 10absolutes in dementia care. These helpful suggestions written by Jo Huey, an Alzheimer’scaregiver for over 30 years, are culled from both clinical and practical research and provide astraightforward way of managing care.

1. Never argue, instead agree.2. Never reason, instead divert.3. Never shame, instead distract.4. Never say “you can’t,” instead say, “do what you can.”5. Never command or demand, instead ask or model.6. Never condescend, instead encourage and praise.7. Never say “remember,” instead reminisce.8. Never say “I told you,” instead repeat.9. Never lecture, instead reassure.

10. Never force, instead reinforce.

If you provide care to someone who has dementia, you may already know of theemotional, mental, and physical challenges that lie ahead. Remembering these absolutescan be more difficult in practice than in theory. However, remaining understanding, patient,and attuned to your loved one’s condition are key to providing the best care possible. AsMaya Angelou said, “They may forget your name, but they will never forget how you madethem feel.”SourcesHuey, J. (2008). Alzheimer’s disease: Help and hope (2nd ed.).

What is the Quarterly Creation Contest?Our Memory Care residents spend three months creating a unique interpretation of a famous piece

of art. Each community then submits their creation and one is honored for its creativity and uniqueness.

This quarter the chosen painting wasSnowballing by Cornelius Kimmel.

Congratulations Sacramento on showing your residents a beautifulquarter filled with Winter Fun!

The residents thought this photo took placein the North Pole. They decided to create

their own North Pole complete with avillage and life size snowman.

Studies by the Centers forDisease Control & Prevention(CDC) estimate that 7 millionAmerican adults over the ageof 65 experience depressioneach year. Many of theseindividuals are at a higher risk asa result of a sedentary lifestyleand medication side effects.Studies have revealed thepositive effects of exercise onseniors, regardless of gender orage. The effects are especiallysignificant in patients with high levels of anxiety and depression. The changesin levels of anxiety, mood and depression after exercise are most oftenexplained by:

u A rise in endorphin levels. (Exercise promotes psychological well-beingby increasing the secretion of endorphins, which reduces the sensation ofpain and produce a state of euphoria.)

u Exercise leads to an increase in the availability of brain neurotransmitters(e.g. serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine) that are diminished withdepression.

u Exercise also increases body temperature and blood circulation to thebrain, both of which help contribute to a rise in an overall feeling ofwell-being.

In senior living communities that feature Live 2 B Healthy’s senior fitnessclasses, care staff and management report a significant improvement insocialization, mood, appetite and sleep among those residents who regularlyattend fitness classes. If you or a loved one suspect depression, consult aprofessional to rule out other possible causes, but also consider giving ourclasses a try. In many cases, just getting out among a group with similarinterests and being physically active can help alleviate the most troublesomesymptoms of depression and put a little extra energy into your day.

Exercise Can Help Ease Depression
