A loved one living with Alzheimer’s and dementia can have a huge impact on their family. Not only is there the pain of seeing your loved one slowly lose the person they were, but the stress and unknown that accompany dementia can feel overwhelming. Caring for a loved one with Alzheimer’s or advanced dementia is disheartening, stressful, frightening and frustrating.
Dementia symptoms like confusion, wandering, or emotional outbursts can be difficult to navigate without support. UpliftedCare can help manage dementia-related symptoms like confusion, sundowners and anxiety. We can help you feel more empowered as a caregiver by providing education about medication and what to expect as the disease progresses and arm you with resources to cope with the stress and issues related to this devastating illness.

WHEN IS WHEN IS IT TIME TO CONSIDER HELP FOR ALZHEIMER’S AND DEMENTIA?
It’s important to understand the symptoms of the disease, its progress, and when it may make sense to gain an extra layer of support from UpliftedCare. Alzheimer’s and dementia are progressive diseases and as the disease advances, patients and caregivers may want assistance with managing the increasing needs of the patient.
People living with advanced dementia may be eligible for UpliftedCare if they meet one or more of the following criteria:
- Speaks few intelligible words
- In need of a pureed diet
- Continuing weight loss
- Needs help to sit up, eat, get dressed, and groom themselves
- Unable to walk without assistance or bed-bound
- Shows signs of severe anxiety
