|
Some holiday gifts may be unusable or even dangerous to a person living with Alzheimer's or another dementia. If someone asks for gift ideas, suggest items the person needs or can easily enjoy, such as comfortable clothing, music, videos or photo albums.

Caregivers may have to assist with dental care
|
An individual living with Alzheimer's disease or another dementia may forget how to brush his or her teeth or forget why it's important. As a caregiver, you may have to take a more hands-on approach. Proper oral care is necessary to prevent eating difficulties, digestive problems and infections.
