Caring for mom with Alzheimer's Disease/ Elder Law & Conservatorship


Quality of life of individuals with dementia depends more on the support and understanding of family, friends and non-medical professionals (such as caregivers) than health care providers. Memory loss is only one of the many signs of dementia, which include anxiety, anger and depression. Without knowing a loved one has dementia, closed family members and friends perceive such unwarranted outbursts or anger against them as personal attacks, or may accuse each other of wrongdoing based on statements made by a person with dementia. 

When Alzheimer has progressed to a stage in which the elder is unable to make basic decisions regarding food, shelter, health and self care, it is long time to appoint a conservator. Conservatorship is appointed to (usually) family members of trusted friends who can make decisions regarding the well being of an incapacitated loved one. 

A-1 Home Care has worked with elders and their conservators in Los Alamitos. We offer caregivers in Los Alamitos, Irvine, Anaheim, Newport Beach, Brea and other Orange County cities. Our live in caregivers are fully licenced, insured and bonded.
