Frequently Asked Questions

How do you help someone with Alzheimer's who doesn't want help?

We believe one of the best ways to support friends or family members who are displaying early signs of Alzheimer’s is by actively listening to them, empowering them with a sense of control of the situation, and simplifying the support process into manageable steps. If these strategies are not working, you may want to consider seeking professional assistance. Above all, please remember that every person with Alzheimer’s has unique needs and preferences, making it essential to be flexible and adjust the approach as needed.

What stage of Alzheimer's requires full-time care?

Once the disease’s warning signs become more apparent and the individual's symptoms are more severe, they will require more support. The stage at which the individual will need full-time care depends on the individual; however, it is commonly during the moderate to severe stages of the disease. If you’re unsure whether or not you or your loved one should be receiving full-time care, feel free to speak with one of our experts.

Is it OK to leave someone with Alzheimer's alone?

No, we do not recommend leaving someone with Alzheimer’s alone for their own safety. Additionally, leaving them alone may inflict confusion, frustration, anxiety, or stress.
