When talking to someone with Alzheimer's, simplify language and offer clear choices. E.g. instead of "What would you like to do today?" try "Would you like to go for a walk or sit and read?" This reduces confusion and helps them feel in control. For example, using a color-coded calendar or reminder system for tasks can be a great tool! Setting timers and alarms (that don't screech or make too much noise) can help your loved one feel like they are on task.

Matt Bell has been involved in the life- and long-term-care-insurance industries and he holds a master’s degree in philosophy. He has worked as an editor, ghostwriter, and researcher, and has published three books pseudonymously.
His lifelong enthusiasm and involvement with alternative medicine was greatly augmented by his liaison with the orthodox medical community (and its shortcomings) during his father’s long and ultimately fatal battle with Alzheimer’s Disease. Additionally, he observed firsthand the devastation caused to his mother’s retirement plans by his father’s expensive care.
Matt vowed at that time to continue the struggle and to give suffering families state-of-the-art financial, health, home-modification, and lifestyle information and research leads to help them fight the war against this increasingly menacing disorder -- and to help shield families from the fallout (monetary or otherwise).
