Learn why healthcare providers fail to diagnose dementia in older adults and what families can do to improve dementia care. A diagnosis of mild or moderate cognitive impairment often progresses to dementia or Alzheimer's disease in the elderly. Individuals and family members can learn to identify signs of dementia and report concerns to physicians who can initiate memory loss testing. An early dementia diagnosis supports care for elderly parents and helps family caregivers develop elder care strategies. Aging parents and adult children who participate in family meetings about dementia care are more successful at achieving a parent's goals for elder and dementia care and maintaining positive family relationships. Pamela D. Wilson, caregiving expert and expert witness with 25 years of professional experience, offers caregiver education, tips, and advice to help family members and older adults proactively identify memory loss concerns, work with physicians and healthcare providers, initiate family dementia discussions, and create health, financial, and legal care plans to address advancing memory loss.

The promise of owning an elderly parent's home may be attractive for family caregivers. Caring for aging parents may involve more work than you think, especially if a parent has dementia or Alzheimer's. Along with being a caregiver, you may give up income, health insurance, retirement savings, a social life, and the right to call your own shots because of depending on an elderly parent for income and a place to live. Trading your life to care for a parent, with a future promise to own real estate, may not be practical if your parent needs the home's equity for a reverse mortgage to pay their bills or to sell the home to pay for assisted living, memory care, or nursing home care. It's impossible to predict the future, and a promise today may need to be broken tomorrow. So while giving up a job or career to live with and care for parents might seem like a good plan, caregiving expert, educator, and consultant Pamela D. Wilson offers caregiver advice to help families have practical discussions about family caregiver strategies and elder care.
