Caregivers Should Not Do

When Providing Care Giving Responsibilities

Alzheimer’s Disease presents vastly different and quite important aspects of providing care than are prescribed in caring for people with other types of diseases. There are very important differences of which Caregivers should become aware. Things a Caregiver Should and Should Not Do. In the beginning, quite naturally Caregivers rely on their care giving history to guide them; but Alzheimer’s Disease is in a realm all by itself.

Basically, as Caregivers,
your Standard can’t get any simpler…
‘Do unto others… as you’d have them do unto you.‘

With respect to Alzheimer’s Disease, all don’t(s) might be listed under a single topic heading addressed to all mankind: ‘What not to do to your fellow man‘. Particularly, your family member Alzheimer’s Victim who is by and large completely at your mercy.

Do(s) and Don’t(s): I encourage you to review the associated ‘Horror’ Page and witness at least one example of a horrific way to treat a person with Alzheimer’s. Of course, it’s doubtful you or your family would participate in such a thing. Still, by seeing the horrors some people even inadvertently participate in, you might become increasingly prompted to always seek a positive way to protect your loved one with your own care giving responsibilities. Strive to focus on developing within you whatever positive attitude is sufficient in order to accomplish common sense procedures as well as learned ‘do(s)‘. By ‘doing’ those things, you’ll obviously not be ‘undoing‘ the health, safety and especially the Emotional Content of he or she who is already a Victim. Pretty simple, isn’t it?

Next is the pre-story to the Horror Story, which, as you’ll see is simply a matter of common sense life practices as well as education about Alzheimer’s Disease. If any of the participants who inflicted such a horror on my Mom would have cared enough to learn about the Disease, perhaps even cared enough to have visited her prior to their action… or even telephoned to see how she was doing, it is likely the horror that gripped my Mom so much would have never happened. By reading the Horror story though, perhaps you’ll learn more quickly than I that some people just don’t employ the use of ‘common sense’, nor are they willing to learn about something before they participate to the degree they completely unsettle existing protocol. Mom’s Horror Story came to be an exceptionally bad nearly three month ordeal my Mother was forced to live through. Forced, first by the active instigation of the difficulty by people who didn’t care enough to even learn about the disease and how people with Alzheimer’s ‘think’; second, by the demands of the characteristics of Alzheimer’s Disease, itself. It was a tragic, extensively recurring experience for my Mom to go through.

I’ve been around in life long enough to know it to be questionable, but I nevertheless ask you to understand that though the writing might seem to be at least somewhat vindictive, the entire purpose of the next two Pages is not to bring mental nor emotional pain to the few, but to provide to great numbers of site visitors a quite specific account which, hopefully, will help you do whatever is necessary to steer clear… so your own loved one will not have to go through such a thing.
