Caring for a Loved One with Alzheimer’s: What You Should Know This June

June is Alzheimer’s & Brain Awareness Month, a time to support those living with memory loss and honor the caregivers who help them every day. We’re proud to support families across Massachusetts with trusted home care and nursing staff.

If you’re caring for someone with Alzheimer’s or dementia, here’s what you should know.

What Is Alzheimer’s Disease?

Alzheimer’s is a disease that affects the brain. It causes memory loss, confusion, and changes in behavior. Over time, it gets worse and makes daily life harder.

Early signs may include:

  • Forgetting names, places, or recent events
  • Getting lost in familiar places
  • Trouble speaking or finding the right words
  • Mood swings or personality changes

There’s no cure, but the right support can make a big difference.

What Caregivers Can Do

Caring for someone with Alzheimer’s can be challenging—but you are not alone. Whether you’re a family caregiver or part of our Informatix Health team, your care matters.

Helpful tips:

  • Stick to a daily routine – It helps reduce confusion.
  • Speak slowly and clearly – Simple words are easier to understand.
  • Keep the home safe – Remove tripping hazards, lock up medications.
  • Offer comfort and patience – Small things can make someone feel secure.
  • Take care of yourself too – You can’t pour from an empty cup.
