If you have wondered how to make the most of your time when you visit a relative or friend suffering from Alzheimer’s or another form of dementia, take some tips from the experts. They have the experience to help your visit go more smoothly.
Their first tip is to adjust to your loved one as they are now and do not expect to have the same type of conversations with them as you once did. As dementia care specialist Vivian Green Korner explains, “Conversations may become less intellect to intellect and more emotion to emotion.” Another thing, focus on what the person still has rather than focusing on what they have lost. They may enjoy stories about the past as well as love hearing music that reminds them of when they were young. Anthony Cirillo, president of The Aging Experience and host of the Virtual Summit for Caregivers, say that, “Music activates something in people no matter how advanced their dementia.” Also it may be helpful to bring photos, books or even tasty treats to share with your loved one. In addition don’t waste time asking a lot of questions that may just confuse the person, instead, just live in the moment. Talk about things you are seeing such as the color of the leaves on a tree outside the window or a pretty picture in the room. If the person appears to be getting agitated, suggest getting up and taking a little walk as often a change of scenery can help to change their mood. Remember it is important to make eye contact as a lot of your communication with the person will be non-verbal. Experts also suggest touching a person before you start to speak as touch is a powerful communicator especially as their verbal skills are starting to diminish.

They describe it like an “uncomfortable pressure, squeezing, fullness or pain.” Signs can also include discomfort in other areas of the upper body such as one or both arms, the back, neck, jaw or stomach. Other symptoms may include shortness of breath, sweating, nausea or lightheadedness. As heart disease is the number one killer for both men and women in the U.S. as well as globally, it is important to know the facts and a great resource for up-to-date information is the American Heart Association’s website.
The site has lots of current information on the causes and treatment for atherosclerosis, which is the disease that develops when plaque builds up inside the arteries. Once plaque has built up and narrowed the arteries, it is more difficult for the blood to flow through and increases the chance of a blood clot forming that can stop blood from flowing altogether. Atherosclerosis is one of the leading causes of heart attacks, strokes, and peripheral vascular disease. Ischemic strokes are the most common type of strokes and occur when a blood vessel that feeds the brain is blocked (typically from a blood clot). Hemorrhagic strokes are caused when weakened blood vessels rupture. There are two types of weakened blood vessels that are typically responsible: aneurysms and arteriovenous malformations (AVMs). Congestive heart failure occurs when the heart is not pumping blood as effectively as it should, and thus, not meeting the body’s blood and oxygen needs. It is one of the most common causes of hospitalization in adults 65 years and older. Treatment includes medications, surgery and lifestyle changes. If left untreated, the problem can worsen.
