It is very important for people in the community to be able to identify AD persons. Their name and address should be clearly marked on an identification bracelet, which they wear at all times. Get
all the help that you can from family, neighbours, shopkeepers and hired helpers
of every
description. Where “handicapped” stickers can be obtained for the caregiver, apply one to your car so that you can park closer to shops when out with your patient. If
you are a spouse-caregiver, go out with another couple so that someone of the
same sex can
take the AD person to the washroom. Get a visiting nurse to give baths rather
than risk a back injury. Notify your neighbours and the police of your patient’s conditions and ask them to alert you if the AD person is seen wandering.
