It is much like caring for a very young child. Same for liquids. Room temperature is ideal. Any extra stimulation will cause problems with attention. Families should remember that this is a process that could last a long time.
Pacing is the key.
Don't get overwhelmed. Today we are chatting with Diane Beach. Her dissertation focused on Alzheimer's disease and its impact on families. Both through my research and personally I have noticed that caregivers suffer from depression due to the demands of an Alzheimer's patient and the change in lifestyle. Its good to have you.
