From a talk with Tracie from Alzheimer’s Society in Dunedin, I’ve got the basic pattern of changes in living condition of AD patients here. Generally, patients keep stay alone or with sponsors at early stage, and relatives and friends visit them regularly. For middle stage patients, they need carers nearby, so that they move to children’s home, or seek help from community nurses. They can keep live at their individual homes until they need 24hr caring- then move into nursing homes or special wards in hospital.
The audio below is part of the interview.
