A Gift for the Alzheimer’s Caregiver
I’ve mentioned gifts you can give the Alzheimer’s patient, but haven’t thought of the caregiver. They need remembering, too, at Christmas and birthdays and “just because.”
Why not give them a “gift certificate” for a day or evening out with you taking care of the Alzheimer’s patient? Make up a card with a “certificate” for time away.
Perhaps you can even arrange for their spouse or another family member to take the caregiver out for something special. Or organize a gathering of some friends at a restaurant or for a show.
Decide what the caregiver or caregivers (if husband and wife) like to do and get together with friends or other family members to arrange care for the Alzheimer’s patient.
You may be able to do this on a periodic basis and find it’s one of the best gifts you could give…time away from caregiving for the caregiver.
