Dementia family caregiver advocate, Rory Clark, who has more than three decades of experience practicing elder law and who is a family caregiver himself, offered valuable insights into the measures to be taken as part of a dementia life care plan.
“Creating a roadmap for dementia care will not only help your loved one but give you peace of mind that the support is in place as their condition progresses,” commented Clark, Founder of GuideWise the organization behind the Family Caregiver Support Network, in Leesburg, VA.
He said that those suffering the early onset of dementia would still be able to function independently, but loved ones don’t always fully grasp the impact of what dementia will mean for both in the long run.
“Adopting a dementia care plan early will hopefully anticipate issues before they arise. Trying to stay one step ahead will become more important as the disease worsens.” Clark said.
A dementia care plan will inevitably change as the disease progresses and has a more marked effect on an individual’s daily life. Ensure communication channels remain open with care providers so that you can ensure your loved one is receiving the proper care.
As dementia worsens, Clark recommended that a full review of even the simplest things, such as meeting daily care needs, such as dressing and bathing, be addressed.
At some point, care must be ramped up to cover 24-hour supervision. Discussions around the impact of late-stage dementia and its effect on all family members will need to be addressed as part of any good life care plan.
He concluded: “The plan will help families focus on keeping a loved one secure and comfortable, and that may require hospice support in the home, in a care facility or hospital. All these steps, solutions and guidance are part of a solid plan and come from consulting with care advocates and attorneys who help loved ones cope better with the impact of dementia.”
