Physicians Choice Private Duty hosts first #srcarechat today at 3 p.m. EST!

Physicians Choice Private Duty is proud to announce we’ll be hosting our very first Twitter chat today at 3 p.m. EST. We’ve named it Senior Care Chat using the hashtag #srcarechat. Whether you’re a caregiving family member or professional, we invite you to join in on today’s conversation, which will focus on the best ways to offer care for those suffering from Alzheimer’s.

Here are today’s questions:

1. As a caregiver, what are the most important steps to take when dealing with a progressive disease like Alzheimer’s?

2. What sort of living environment best suits someone with Alzheimer’s?

3. When should family consider moving a loved one with Alzheimer’s into a nursing facility?

4. What setbacks should be anticipated when moving a loved one to a hospital or nursing home?

5. What are some ways to make sure someone with Alzheimer’s takes their medication as prescribed?

6. How do you explain to a young person that a loved one is suffering from Alzheimer’s?

7. What are some ways to prevent caregiver burnout?

8. What resources are available for families with loved ones with dementia or Alzheimer’s?

Feedback is always welcome, please let us know what you think in the comments or on Twitter.
