Caregiver for a bedridden patient: comfort, safety and support

While occasional forgetfulness is considered a normal part of aging, severe memory loss is not. Dementia can be defined as the loss of several cognitive functions, such as memory, problem solving, thinking and language, which are necessary for performing tasks in everyday life. Dementia itself is not a disease. Rather, the term covers a wide range of medical conditions, including Alzheimer's disease, that are caused by abnormal changes in the brain.

It is a progressive disease, meaning symptoms will worsen over time. A person with early signs will require minimal care. As the condition gradually worsens, the level of support needed increases markedly. Although family members may choose to care for an elderly patient on their own, this responsibility can be extremely stressful, even more so than caring for someone with a physical disability. Therefore, nursing and aged care services are very useful in this case. Families are best served by seeking the help of experienced caregivers in this field.

Because dementia causes a decline in thinking skills, the patient's ability to function independently in everyday life becomes severely impaired. Due to the nature of the disease, additional care is often needed to support the elderly, especially if the person is in a home environment. A caregiver for an elderly person is a qualified professional who is trained to recognize the symptoms of dementia. She understands, for example, that temper tantrums and agitation are expected results of dementia. A caregiver for a bedridden patient understands how to gently comfort an elderly person.

A caregiver provides consistent, quality care. Common responsibilities include gentle assistance with daily activities such as bathing, dressing, and eating. She may provide transportation to the doctor, as well as monitoring the intake of medications prescribed by the doctor. Caregivers for dementia patients encourage a daily routine in daily life, constantly, and never leave the patient alone. Professionals set fixed times for meals, bathing, and self-care. Visits to the toilet can also be regular to avoid accidents.
