Frequently Asked Questions About In-Home Alzheimer’s and Dementia Care
At Abington Caregivers, we understand that caregivers often question whether their loved one with dementia would thrive better at home or in a nursing home. Research indicates that dementia patients generally fare better in the comfort of their own homes, where they experience improved cognitive function, reduced agitation, and a better quality of life. This setting allows for independence, routine, and social interaction, essential for managing the condition.
When caring for a loved one with dementia at Abington Caregivers, there are key actions to avoid. Never argue or correct them, as it can lead to frustration and agitation. This can create a volatile environment and make caregiving more challenging. Don’t rush or force activities, as this can cause stress and resistance. This can lead to feelings of anxiety and make the individual more resistant to care. And never assume they’re intentionally being difficult or forgetful, as it’s a result of the disease. This understanding can help caregivers approach the situation with empathy and patience.
Nearly 70% of Alzheimer’s patients rely on family and friends for care, living at home. As Alzheimer’s progresses, understanding how long patients can remain at home becomes essential. With proper care and support, patients can thrive at home for various durations, depending on individual needs and care levels. On average, patients can live at home for several years, even up to a decade, with personalized care and assistance from Abington Caregivers.
