National Family Caregivers Association
When Family Members are the Caregivers … you face many trials and tribulations during this time. Not only are you dealing with your loved one having many changes in their life, you too are now under extreme stress and pressure. As the caregiver, you need to make sure you allow time just for you to re-group and to be able to handle the tasks you are faced with. Make sure you hold on to the memories when Mom/Dad were well so that depression does not set in. YOU need to have control of your own emotions to handle the ones you are dealing with at the present time.
AARP
Keep Your Loved One Busy … Senior Citizens need to know that their life has not ended just because they are no longer out working or raising their family that once took up 90% of their life. They need to know that there are many activities for them NOW. One suggestion is to contact your local Churches to see if they are a Senior Center. These locations offer many activities for the elderly to get involved with and give them a reason to get up every day. Many hospitals offer discount luncheons for seniors to attend – which will give your loved one an opportunity to socialize and meet others. Remember there is always AARP for your loved one to get involved with. They also offer insurances at a very reasonable price for the elderly.

This could possibly be the signs of Alzheimer’s setting in.
