At SINEWS we are well aware of the complicated role of people who care for older people with cognitive impairment or dementia. That's why we know that taking care of them is as important or more important even than offering the best treatment for the patient. And we do it by:
- Information on the normal evolution of the disease and what behaviors are voluntary and which are the result of loss of skills
- Guidelines for daily life with an elderly person. Small tricks and routines that can help maintain their abilities longer or improve their quality of life
- Guide to self-care. If the caregiver breaks down, everything will get worse. It's very important not to forget oneself and establish the things we need to stay well
At home services may be offered, once the evaluation and design of the therapeutic plan has been completed (for which it is necessary to go to the clinic*).
