    How to setup your home for an Alzheimer’s patient

    Caring for a patient with Alzheimer’s requires a very generous amount of patience, dedication, and diligence. Patients with Alzheimer’s disease require a lot of care and have many needs that must be tended to. In order to make sure your patient’s needs are taken care of, it is important that your home is properly set up to prevent accidents and avoid other dangers. Fortunately, Pioneer Emergency has developed a medical alarm system that can be used to get patient immediate emergency care, especially in situations when help is not within reach.

    Alzheimer’s patients and elderly people in general are vulnerable to falls and slipping in the bath and shower. These falls can cause serious injuries, and often result in broken bones. The best way to prevent such falls is to install a railing or handle in the bath or shower that can be gripped onto, preventing or lessening the damage of a fall. Bath mats that do not move and provide grip are also great for preventing slips and falls. In the event of these falls, Pioneer Emergency’s medical alarm system is perfect for reaching emergency medical personnel and getting help immediately.

    A person with Alzheimer’s is susceptible to getting into things around the house like cabinets and drawers. Childproof locks and covers for electrical outlets can prevent electrocution and ingestion of household cleaning products. These types of safeguards are essential for preventing accidents.

    Decreased motor skills, combined with the limited mobility of old age, makes the likelihood of falls increase. Clutter can cause patients to trip, and sharp edges on furniture and other decorations can increase the risk of injury. Clearing clutter in the home, especially near commonly used paths in the house, cuts the chances of a fall or injury.

    Having a medical alarm device is the most important part of houseproofing for someone with Alzheimer’s. Pioneer Emergency provides the perfect medical alarm device to keep help always within reach for Alzheimer’s patients. When time is of the essence and assistance may be out of reach, medical alarm devices can save a patient’s life and buy precious minutes that can be used to administer aid.

    To prevent wandering, areas of the house should be locked. Parts of the house such as back porches, attics, basements, and garages can be dangerous and hold chemicals, sharp tools, and other hazards.
