Are You Losing Someone To Dementia?
How to help someone with Alzheimer’s? Today’s topic is a little bit more on the side of a serious note than our usual subject matter. However, we thought it would be something that people can associate with or want to learn about. We will all be touched by someone, in some way, with a brain disease at some point in our lives. How do we recognize Alzheimer’s symptoms? How do we deal with them? How can we help? How do we communicate? There are so many questions and really so few answers. Or so we thought. Today we are speaking with Lisa Paglia.
How To Help Someone With Alzheimer’s…
Lisa is the author of “Not All Who Wander Need Be Lost: Stories of Hope for Families Facing Alzheimer’s and Dementia.”She has experienced life with eight loved ones with dementia. Currently, she runs a support group at an assisted living facility for those members of families of individuals who live in memory care units. She also runs a placement service that aids people to locate and deal with the appropriate facilities for their loved ones with these terrible diseases.
If you are faced with this challenge in any manner, hopefully, Lisa will inspire you by giving you hope. Hope that, despite your loved ones’ illness, it is still possible to share a rewarding connection with them through understanding and better communication skills.
