The topic of this report is the assessment of and recommendations for community support for individuals who have Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) in Bergen County, New Jersey. Included in this experience are the challenges, hurdles, and successes in attempting to provide good and safe supervised care for her as the changes Alzheimer’s disease progressed. These experiences are universally common for caretakers taking on the large challenge of caring for an adult with AD. A person diagnosed with Alzheimer’s has specialized needs and requirements that can be a large challenge for a spouse or a family member to handle. Many of these simple everyday behaviors, which are termed Activities of Daily Living (“ADLs”) such eating, bathing, dressing, walking, or independent activities of daily living (“IADLs”) such as shopping, cooking/meal preparation, laundry, cleaning, handling money/bills, exercise, etc.),can present a burden to the caretaker helping the individual with AD in addition, to their own life responsibilities, which may include all the above plus working at a job, attending school raising a family.[1] Other activities, in the medical category include arranging medical doctor consultations including specialized western medicine guidance, medicine prescribing/monitoring, MRI exams, as well as investigating what complementary medical modalities like East Asian medicine, Functional Medicine (nutrition and supplements), massage, Physical Therapy. Many of these items may or may not be covered by health insurance. The larger, potentially daunting financial requirements may include investigating what options for supervised 24 hour-a-day specialized, supervised medical housing, supporting medical consults throughout the progression of the disease may look like. Many times this long term care is not an option because of the expense.[2] A large number of caretakers will also need to know where to find and access community resources, social resources for their AD person.[2] Since this daily grind can exact a toll for the caretaker, some kind psychological or psychotherapeutic support will be needed for the caretakers on an ongoing basis and especially if the Alzheimer’s patient experiences personality changes. Nationally known expert Carol Levine, a former family caregiver and director of the United Hospital Fund’s Families and Health Care Project (which studies family caregiving), commented: Dementia is probably the most talked-about and written-about disease in America today. Yet, when it comes to one-on-one conversations with a family about a person with dementia, communication often breaks down. Family members want information about the disease, how to manage symptoms, and what to expect as time goes on. They want to know where to turn as urgent questions arise, frequently outside office hours.[3]
