Coping with the disorder There are strategies to cope with this disorder and these should be considered in the beginning stages of the disease. Coping mechanisms depend on whether there are family members available for support. If an individual is without family members relying on community support through neighbors or volunteers of Alzheimer disease organizations will be necessary. Many precautions can be made early on to avoid difficult or life-threatening situations later while maintaining everyday activities in the home environment. Dealing with a person with Alzheimer disease with patience is important. Daily tasks should be performed when the person with Alzheimer disease feels best. Informing neighbors of the person s condition is an important first step. Arranging for assistance depending on the stage of the disorder will become necessary. As the ability to drive may be compromised fairly early in the disorder transportation may need to be arranged. There are local chapters of the Alzheimer sAssociation that offer help with transportation requirements.

Family and friends can help sustain the Alzheimer patient s daily living activities. Keeping records is also helpful particularly if several people are overseeing the patient s care. Additionally organizing the household so that it is easy to find important items is recommended. Other helpful coping mechanisms include posting signs to remind patients of important phone numbers to turn off appliances and to lock doors.
