When someone in our life finds themselves a caregiver for an Alzheimer’s patient, they have two challenges: dealing with the patient and dealing with the isolation. Here are a few tips for being a good friend:
- Don’t brag about how wonderful things are in your life….too much.
- Be sensitive to last minute changes of plans.
- Do not minimize anything they are experiencing.
- Help with errands (Duh!)
- Bring food.
- Stay in touch and keep including the person even if they often refuse (unless told otherwise).
