Although Christmas is a time marked by excitement and celebration with our loved ones, it can be tarnished when a family member suffers from a degenerative disease such as dementia or Alzheimer’s. We are concerned about how the holidays will affect their well-being and how we will combine the organization of the celebrations with their care.
And these holidays are a challenge for people with Alzheimer’s, since they bring with them a change in their routines that can disorient them. In addition, dealing with more people can also be difficult for them, especially if they are not people they see frequently. But this does not mean that we should cancel the celebration, but rather that we can enjoy a peaceful Christmas and make the person with Alzheimer’s also enjoy it by following a series of recommendations shared by the Pasqual Maragall Foundation.
