Providing Quality Dementia Care in the Omaha and Douglas County area
Have you ever felt the frustration of misplaced keys or glasses? Having a word on the tip of your tongue? Or missing a dose of medicine?
Now imagine encountering these frustrating experiences, but with double the magnitude. Short memory lapses are common as individuals age. Dementia, though, is a progressive decline in cognitive function beyond what may be expected from the normal aging process. Elderly adults suffering from dementia often have trouble with memory, attention, language, and problem solving. They may tend to repeat questions, get confused about people or time, become disoriented, or neglect personal hygiene and nutrition. And when those suffering from dementia are unable to express their thoughts, they often feel pain, embarrassment, and frustration.
Caring for someone with dementia takes a great deal of patience, empathy, and love. Particularly as memory loss progresses, this type of care can cause an enormous amount of stress to a family caregiver.
