Activities for seniors with Alzheimer/ A-1 Home Care in Hollywood

Many people say that music is the most immediate form of expression.

For those with Alzheimer, music can be a godsend. Those who don't have readily available access to their memories, Music highlights many significant moments in life. During birthday celebrations people sing around candlelit cake, they hug as they watch couples sway to their “first dance” and during the holidays a familiar carol can all but melt our hearts. These are simple snapshots of how music can draw out reminders for seniors, of days gone by.
 
Here are a few ways one can engage a loved one or friend through music:
  • Sing favorite songs together
  • Listen to music that means something to a loved one
  • Attend a community concert
  • Play the piano together
  • Watch a concert on video

Respite Senior Care in Hollywood


The film Iris follows the inner world of famous author and philosopher Iris Murdoch as she visibly deteriorates from Alzheimer's Disease. The film is as much about Murdoch as it is about her senior partner and decades long caretaker John Bailey. In many ways, this is a film about caregiver stress at work in Bailey due to the ups and downs of Dementia.

A-1 Home Care provides Hollywood Respite Senior Caregivers for those providing home care for their spouses, friends or family. Respite care is necessary because it gives you a break while rejuvinating your body and mind so you're ready for another round of care. We want to be there for our aging parents because we feel a need to caretake in a loving and supportive way. But harming yourself in the process of providing senior care is not the answer.
