However, caring for a loved one getting progressively worse can be problematic. It can quickly become more than one, untrained person can manage. Patients with dementia and Alzheimer\u2019s can even become angry, aggressive, violent, and abusive, becoming more than a family member can handle.<\/p><p>When this occurs, families may turn to one of many different types of care. Before the disease has progressed too far, in-home care or day care may be adequate. With in-home care the family can hire a home health care worker to come in a few hours a day, all day, or even for 24-hour care. An in-home caregiver may also be a nurse, but this is much more costly. To allow family members to go to work, adult day care is an option for care during the day at a facility outside the home.<\/p><p>Both in-home care and adult day care are largely non-skilled supportive types of care. Caregivers provide assistance with chores around the house and sometimes with personal care as well. They also provide security, making sure the patient does not wander or get lost. The same is true at day care, although this option allows for more social and other activities.<\/p><\/div>\n                                    <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n            \t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n                            <\/div>\n        <\/section>\n        \t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Alzheimer\u2019s and Dementia Care You have to be patient with Alzheimer\u2019s.
