Eleanor and Robert’s situation mirrored common scenarios: a husband supporting his wife’s dementia care while facing his own unnoticed decline. Unbeknownst to Robert, he was also showing early signs of dementia.
Meanwhile, Eleanor’s children recognized her deteriorating condition, impacting her basic self-care, medication adherence, and overall engagement. Her existence had transformed into mere survival.
The couple’s social nature included a fondness for alcohol, which now posed risks due to their compromised health. Struggling to balance their own wellbeing, Eleanor’s children recognized that the care needed exceeded what Robert could provide.
Determined to find solutions beyond mere survival, they sought external support.
The transformation within the family was remarkable. The once-palpable tension that the challenges of dementia created were replaced with understanding and collaboration. Premier Caregiver Services team facilitated 12-hour care initially, transitioning seamlessly to 24/7 care when needed. Strategies were implemented to curtail alcohol consumption, including open conversations and discreetly ordering watered-down drinks at restaurants.
Eleanor and Robert’s Caregivers engaged them in walks, trivia games, and outings, rekindling their zest for life. Activities were designed to reignite their connection with the world, promoting mental and emotional wellbeing.
