Early-Stage Routine Health Care for Someone With Alzheimer's Disease
In the early stage of dementia, you will --
- need to remind a person to take his medication
- check to see that he is taking the right medication at the right time
- reorder medications when necessary
- make appointments with doctors for him
- accompany the person with AD to the doctor
- bring lists of medications he is taking
- be prepared to give a medical health history if the doctor does not already know the person
- describe his symptoms
These are obvious tips, what I need to know is what to do when the AD person rebels against these interventions?
