Aiding the Alzheimer's dementia patient to live in safety and security

Abstract:
Alzheimer's is truly a "family" disease, affecting not only the patient but the entire family. The patient's emotional/psychological safety and security are as important as his or her physical condition, and therefore must be addressed. Families should be encouraged to use every resource that is available. The nurse/caregiver is in an excellent position to offer support and suggest resources. The key is understanding the course of the disease and measures that can be employed to maintain the patient in optimal safety and security.
