Caregiver Resources: From Independence to a Memory Care Unit

For a person with Alzheimer's disease, chemical hazards, driving, and falls pose major health risks in the home. Wandering away from caregivers also seriously endangers health and well-being.

Even when these issues are addressed, caregivers are faced with many more questions about the safest living arrangements for their loved one.

It's hard to know when home services might be beneficial, whether your loved one should move in with you, or if an assisted living facility will be a good fit. The simple checklists in this book will help you answer these questions and teach you how to:

• Modify your loved one's home to reduce confusion.
• Recognize the warning signs for wandering.
• Identify the right time to hire home healthcare.
• Know when a long-term care facility might be beneficial.
• Decide if a memory care unit is right for your loved one.

Having tackled these issues in our own lives, we've created these checklists to help you with the large and small decisions you will face about the place your loved one calls home.

Take the guesswork out of living arrangements.
Order now and find the way home.
