Does your loved one leave the house and forget the way home? Forget to take medications or turn off the stove? Become increasingly combative or irritated? Forget your name or the names of the grandchildren?
Do you find yourself increasingly stressed and worried about how to care for your loved one? Are you missing more days of work?
Caring for someone with memory disorders affects not only the individual but the whole family. Nursing homes are not the only option.
SCS's Social Adult Day Services program provides compassionate care, therapeutic activities, and supervision for seniors with Alzheimer's and other memory disorders, in a homelike environment that they can enjoy while you work, shop, or take care of your children or other responsibilities. the flexible daily schedule and a new "drop-in" option provide a number of ways that caregivers can get some much-needed respite.
