Daily News | Dear Abby | New roommate displays symptoms of dementia
I am not capable of doing it, nor do I desire to. I don’t know how to handle this because I have asked him previously whom I should contact “in case of emergency” and got no reply. Help, please.Initiating a conversation with your roommate about your concerns is critical, particularly while he is in EARLY stages of dementia. Be open and honest about your capabilities and find out what his plans are for long-term care as his dementia progresses.
Stress to him the importance of making future care plans NOW, while he has a voice and control over these decisions. As his dementia progresses, these decisions will become increasingly difficult, and left undone, others might have to make decisions for him. While it’s important for you to press for answers to these important questions, try to be supportive. Your roommate may be having trouble coming to grips with his dementia.
The Alzheimer’s Association website is a valuable resource for people living with the disease, as well as for their families and care partners. Those in early stages of the disease can find help there, including access to local support groups and care resources. It also has a free 24/7 Helpline that provides reliable information and guidance for all who need support navigating their personal experiences with Alzheimer’s or another dementia.I have been married for 32 years.
