What is Alzheimer & Dementia Care?
What Should be Considered in the Care of Alzheimer’s Patients?
Caring for Alzheimer’s patients is a process that requires great care and patience. The main elements to be considered in this process are as follows:- People with Alzheimer’s disease may be in danger in unsafe environments due to disorientation and memory loss. It is important to minimize the risk of falls and injuries by making arrangements at home or in the care center. Care should be taken to ensure that cutting tools, chemicals and locked cabinets are out of reach.
- Maintaining routines is of great importance for Alzheimer’s patients in order for them to lead their daily lives more comfortably. Establishing routines such as eating, sleeping and doing activities at certain times every day makes patients feel more secure.
- It is natural to experience confusion, anxiety and irritability from time to time. Being patient and offering emotional support in these situations helps patients feel safer and more comfortable.
- Activities aimed at slowing down memory loss are beneficial for people with Alzheimer’s disease. Activities such as memory games, simple puzzles or recalling frequently used objects in daily life contribute to the preservation of cognitive functions.
What should be considered in the care of dementia patients?
- When communicating with people with dementia, it is important to speak clearly, concisely and slowly. Repetition and visual or tactile cues can be helpful when they have difficulty understanding.
- The lack of social interaction and activity in the daily lives of people with dementia can accelerate the progression of the disease. Therefore, ensuring that they regularly participate in social activities supports their mental and emotional health.
- Adequate and balanced nutrition is essential for maintaining general health. Ensuring adequate fluid intake also reduces the risk of dehydration.
- The treatment process of dementia patients should be regularly monitored by doctors. Taking the right dose of medication and monitoring side effects can improve the overall health of patients.
Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation for Alzheimer’s Patients
Physical therapy for Alzheimer’s patients is an important rehabilitation process applied to support both physical and mental functions. It aims to prevent falls and movement limitations, improve balance and coordination by maintaining the muscle strength of the patients. Since Alzheimer’s patients experience cognitive decline, physical activities also have a stimulating effect on memory and brain functions. At Meva, physical therapy plans specially prepared for Alzheimer’s patients are applied with a personalised approach and expert physiotherapists. In this way, it is ensured that patients can maintain their independence for as long as possible and improve their quality of life.
Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation for Dementia Patients
Physical therapy in patients with dementia aims to reduce the loss of motor skills that occur with the progression of the disease and to enable them to continue their daily life activities more comfortably. Thanks to physical therapy, balance, coordination and muscle strength of dementia patients are maintained, the risk of falls is reduced and their mobility is supported. At Meva, physical therapy and rehabilitation programmes for dementia patients focus on enabling patients to maintain their independence for the longest possible time while preserving their current functions. Our expert staff aims to improve the quality of life of patients by supporting this process both physically and emotionally.
