Dr. Peter Rabins leads a discussion with a group of family caregivers who share their experiences of caring for a relative with Alzheimer disease. Through their comments the viewer gains valuable information on the basic do's and don'ts of interacting with individuals with Alzheimer disease. The basic care guidelines they suggest are simple to understand and form a strong foundation for family caregivers.
The challenges discussed the caregivers in this DVD include: the driving dilemma; the need to lock doors; making a safe zone; responding to a person who becomes agitated and even violent; continuing a loving peer-to-peer relationship, and a sense of loss. By sharing experiences, caregivers get tips from one another and realize they are not really alone.
Excellent for any family learning about the caregiver role and for presentation in support groups. Simple to understand, obvious once you’ve heard it, the information in this program is a “golden book” for families.
