Instead Senior Care in Wexford has published a new information specifically for carers of
people with dementia. There are currently
more than 40,000 people in Ireland with some form of the disease. But behind the headlines there are another 50,000
people whose lives are also affected. They
are the forgotten heroes of Alzheimer’s disease and other memory related conditions.
The
free information guide, “Helping Families Cope” covers issues such as
communication and activities as well as some of the conditions associated with dementia
including confusion, repetitive questions or phrases, aggression, wandering or pacing,
incontinence, paranoia and more. A free copy
of “Helping Families Cope” is available from Home Instead Senior Care office in
Strandfield Business Park, Kerlogue, Wexford or by calling 053 9184042.
