Dementia affects over 55 million people worldwide, with approximately half of the costs attributed to informal caregivers, so preparing financially is essential. Maureen Bradley, one of A Place for Mom’s most seasoned senior care experts, recommends “The 36-Hour Day: A Family Guide to Caring for People Who Have Alzheimer Disease and Other Dementias, and Memory Loss” by Nancy L. Mace, MA, and Dr. Peter V. Rabins, MPH.“‘The 36-Hour Day’ is an oldie but a goodie and is considered a must-read for families of folks living with dementia,” says Bradley, who’s currently pursuing her doctoral thesis on non-pharmacological interventions for cognitive decline in older adults. Here at Golden Heart Senior Care, we pride ourselves on having caregivers who are trained on how to work with clients with Dementia and Alzheimer’s. To have a caregiver trained in the many ways to help a client with dementia, please contact us at GoldenHeartScottsdale.com. We are here to help!!!

Hello Seniors, Families and Friends. We hope you are all staying in the cool and hydrated. According to a Village Medical article released on 7.10.24, below you can find information on symptoms, cures and ways to avoid this issue. Please see a copy and paste from the article.

Heat cramps, exhaustion, or stroke can occur when the body becomes overheated from high temperatures. Warning signs of heat-related illness include:

• Sweating
• Painful muscle spasms
• Weakness, dizziness or lightheadedness
• Nausea or vomiting
• Headache
• Low blood pressure

Later signs of heat stroke can be serious and may include chills, confusion, slurred speech, seizures and a body temperature above 104℉. If you experience any of these symptoms, call 911 or visit the nearest ER.

The best way to prevent heat-related illness is to stay inside in the air conditioning. If you are out playing or working in the sun, make sure to drink plenty of water. You can also cool off by spraying water or placing ice packs on the skin.

According to an article Published by a Place for Mom, the following describes a symptom referred to as sundowning:

Toward the end of the day, you may notice someone with dementia becoming noticeably more irritable, anxious, angry, and irrational. This change in behavior is called sundowning, also known as sundown syndrome or sundowner syndrome, and refers to late-day confusion or delirium. Because it can’t be easily attributed to a definite cause, it’s not considered a disease, but rather a set of symptoms associated with dementia. Sundowning in dementia patients is relatively common, as well. As many as 1 in 5 people with Alzheimer’s will experience sundowning, according to Cleveland Clinic.
