From an immediate source of physical and emotional stress, and financial burden on the family, to a larger economic influence on the healthcare system and community as nuclear time-related stressors of missed work, etc. impact the family\u2019s wider circle, Alzheimer\u2019s reach is far and devastating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>1.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Understanding it\u2019s not just \u201cThem\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In fact, it could be you. The hereditary or genetic aspects of some dementias are of note. Yes, caring for a senior loved one suffering from Alzheimer\u2019s or dementia is draining and can leave one feeling short-fused. Taking a breather (or a <a href=\"https:\/\/verveseniorliving.com\/respite-stays\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">respite stay<\/a>) is okay, and actually for the better of you both.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>2.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Relationships can change<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The relationship with your lifelong partner or your parent will undoubtedly change. How partners show affection may change; they may feel more amorous or less amorous, and potentially in inopportune moments. Parents or partners may look to you to take on a role you never have before in the family, such as handling finances, etc. Behavioural changes will dictate your responses, but not necessarily the affection that\u2019s the foundation for the relationship. Patience and openness are your best allies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>3.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Becoming aware of guilt, grief, loss and anger<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A lot of emotions are involved in relationships where Alzheimer\u2019s and dementia are a factor. These are very common for families and caregivers; know you\u2019re not alone. It can help to <a href=\"https:\/\/alzheimer.ca\/en\/help-support\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">find a support group<\/a>, or talk to a professional to unburden some of those emotions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But two of the most important things we can keep in mind when it comes to Alzheimer\u2019s and dementia are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>#1 Knowledge is the best asset<\/strong> on this journey. Educating oneself with as much information there is, such as from the <a href=\"https:\/\/alzheimer.ca\/en\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Alzheimer Society of Canada<\/a> or Verve\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/verveseniorliving.com\/news-events-blog\/is-there-treatment-for-alzheimers-disease\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Alzheimer\u2019s &amp; Dementia series<\/a> by certified Dementia Consultant <a href=\"https:\/\/dementiasolutions.ca\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Karen Tyrell<\/a>, and asking for help from professionals, not only helps with the practicalities of caregiving or living with someone affected by the disease, but also to feel emotionally equipped to handle it. And;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>#2 Never underestimate the impact of love and compassion <\/strong>for the person suffering from Alzheimer\u2019s or dementia. This is the one thing we can all give limitlessly and provides one of the biggest impacts on those living with the disease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Recommendations for families and caregivers<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Deciding if and when it\u2019s time for you or a loved one to take the next big step can signify loss and harsh realizations, which is why we\u2019ve also covered <a href=\"https:\/\/verveseniorliving.com\/news-events-blog\/how-to-have-the-conversation-about-moving-into-a-retirement-residence-%ef%bf%bc\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">how to have the conversation about moving into a retirement residence<\/a> to make it as smooth a conversation as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can also discover how Verve Senior Living is <a href=\"https:\/\/verveseniorliving.com\/news-events-blog\/virtually-verve-enriching-lives-in-memory-care\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Enriching Lives in Memory Care<\/a> in one of our most recent Virtually Verve events via Zoom.
