LifeWorx Can Help With Alzheimer's and Dementia Care

No illness is more debilitating and worrisome than Alzheimer’s or dementia. It’s heartbreaking when a parent fails to recognize you, or his or her personality changes. It also makes the caregiving process a bit more challenging, so our dementia home care professionals always account for the illness-related behavior. 

Although there are currently thousands of Alzheimer’s research initiatives, by most estimates, a cure is almost a decade away. That means the best we can do is to slow the progression of the disease as much as possible. Dr. Fillit, Chairman of the Alzheimer’s Research Foundation and LifeWorx Advisory Board Member, recommends taking these steps:

  1. Maintaining your loved one’s daily activities
  2. Providing social interaction
  3. Ensuring good nutrition
  4. Offering intellectual stimulation

A LifeWorx Alzheimer’s and dementia home care professional can make sure your loved one has all the above. Take, for instance, Claire*, who called us one day from Stuyvesant Town in Manhattan. In a shaky voice, she told us that her husband, Tom*, was sitting at the park, refusing to return home. We recommended she just go be with him where he was. She obliged and promised to be back in touch. A few minutes later, she called again and said she was afraid of Tom, who was a large man.

Claire and Tom had loved each other for more than 40 years, but he was now suffering from a serious case of Alzheimer’s, which was rapidly worsening of late. Somehow, they had ended up in the park outside their apartment, wondering what their next steps would be. We told Claire that we would send over an Alzheimer’s care professional who would know how to positively persuade her husband, understand the changes in his thinking and moods, and be a friend.

Tom and his new caregiver hit it off within an hour, and as they did, Tom calmed down. The caregiver immediately began dementia home care with Tom. Later, Claire called again and thanked us, saying she had slept well that night. These days, the caregiver is a constant companion, even traveling with Claire and Tom to their vacation home. “I feel like I have my life back,” Claire said.

Being the spouse of someone with Alzheimer’s is difficult, as is being that person’s child. You’re troubled by your loved one’s illness and it becomes more complex and unpredictable to interact with him or her. Sometimes it’s difficult to disengage emotionally, but it’s best to do so, and often to employ an intermediary as well. There’s no doubt that home care for elderly people with dementia can be difficult. But Alzheimer’s care professionals have taken care of a wide variety of Alzheimer’s patients, from those who are sweet and kind to those who are deeply frustrated. They understand that in difficult moments, it is the illness speaking and not the person. They shrug off these tough times and put their heart into providing the care your loved one needs.

WHAT WE DO

Why the Chappaqua location?

Just 35 miles north of Midtown Manhattan, Chappaqua, NY has a small-town rural feel, complete with small shops, restaurants, and a gazebo where summer concerts are held. About 5% of Chappaqua households have someone age 65 or older living alone. No illness is more debilitating and worrisome than Alzheimer’s or dementia, and it’s normal to be worried, feel sad and have lots of questions. Serving all of Westchester, Putnam and Rockland counties, we have highly-seasoned staff members and will treat you like a guest in our home.

Eddie was quite possibly one of the nicest care providers I have ever encountered. He was the “real deal,” as we say in the elder care business: committed to the profession, experienced, and a genuine person with a loving heart. One day, Eddie was in the area because Mrs. Stein, the woman he was caring for, wanted to stop for lunch at Lange’s. Lange’s is a local Chappaqua deli that is unquestionably a fan favorite of people both in and out of the area. This was fairly typical for them to do after Mrs. Stein finished her weekly tennis match at Club Fit in Briarcliff. Considering our office is only steps from Lange’s and directly next to Talbots, one of Mrs. Stein’s favorite clothing stores, Eddie decided to stop in with Mrs. Stein to say hello. Although this was many years ago, I will never forget this moment, as it was on this day I was introduced to the complexities of this terrible disease, Alzheimer’s.

This was the first time I was meeting Mrs. Stein, and I did not know what stage of dementia she actually had. As Eddie and Mrs. Stein, a seemingly healthy and able-bodied woman adorned in head to toe tennis gear (minus the racket) came in, he introduced us. Initially, I couldn’t quite understand why Eddie’s care was needed. Mrs. Stein seemed perfectly fine as we chatted about who was victorious on the courts and her love of the game. However, after several minutes of completely normal and ordinary conversation, I saw the content abruptly change into something completely incoherent and then quickly back to normal and ordinary. As we know, there is nothing normal and ordinary about this disease. It’s very much the contrary. I knew at this point how incredibly important Eddie’s expertise and exposure to this disease was. He knew the disease and he knew his client, which is why he was able to continue to take Mrs. Stein out to do the things she loved to do in such a safe and managed manner.
