Alzheimer's Reading Room
Or, are you still communicating with the person suffering from Alzhemier's in the way you did before the diagnosis of Alzheimer's was made?
I am asking these questions to Alzheimer's caregivers.
Are you one of the many that has had to deal with repetitive behavior? Like an Alzheimer's sufferer asking the same question over and over? Or, engaging in the same activity over and over during the course of the day? Did you do you anything about it? Or did you just give in and accept it as part of the day -- in others words gave up trying to change the situation or behavior.
Have you been subjected to mean spirited, angry, or violent behavior from someone suffering from Alzheimer's disease? What did you do about it? Did you try to change the behavior by using communication? Turn to medication? Or, did you accept it as part of Alzheimer's disease?
Do you find yourself "venting" or complaining about the same problem over and over? If so, have you ever sought out a solution to the problem?
Do you believe that a person suffering from Alzheimer's disease is a "victim"?
