Alzheimer Caregiver
Alzheimer's disease is a progressive neurological disorder that deeply affects not only the patient but also their close surroundings. This condition, which leads to restrictions in daily living activities, memory loss, and eventually complete dependence, requires a care process that demands special knowledge and patience. As Damla Consulting, we offer professional solutions to meet both the physical and emotional needs of your patients with experienced and reliable caregivers specifically trained for Alzheimer’s patients.
Why Does Care in Alzheimer's Disease Require Expertise?
Alzheimer's patients require different levels of support and supervision depending on the stage of the disease. The process, which begins with forgetfulness in the early stage, continues with issues such as disorientation, aggression, incontinence, feeding problems, and becoming fully dependent in the middle and late stages.
During this process, the caregiver must:
-
Have knowledge about Alzheimer’s
-
Be patient, understanding, and compassionate
-
Be able to correctly perform medication tracking and personal hygiene practices
-
Be able to intervene correctly in crisis situations
-
Be sensitive to the social and emotional needs of the patient
These are critical responsibilities. As Damla Consulting, we connect you with Alzheimer caregivers who possess all these qualities.
