Someone living with Alzheimer’s should go to a nursing home when it will improve their quality of life or when It’s no longer safe for them to live at home. Services like housekeeping can alleviate stress improve life, while wandering and sundowning can cause safety concerns that mean the individual needs full-time support. For caregivers, someone with Alzheimer’s should move to a community when you can no longer provide the care they need or when your own life is suffering due to your caregiving responsibilities. If you are overwhelmed or you feel you cannot handle increasingly difficult situations, it’s time for professional support that relieves the burden.
