About two-thirds of these caregivers are women, and more than a third are daughters caring for a parent.<\/p><p>The strain shows up in measurable ways.<\/p><p>Roughly 59% of dementia caregivers report <a href=\"https:\/\/www.alz.org\/news\/2024\/november-national-family-caregivers-month\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">high or very high emotional stress<\/a>, and 38% report the same level of physical stress. Still, only about half say they\u2019ve sought support for themselves, pointing to a real gap between needing help and asking for it.<\/p><p>A common misconception is that caregiving winds down once a loved one moves into memory care. In practice, the role often just changes shape.<\/p><p>About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.alz.org\/getmedia\/2421d513-8165-464a-a443-8ded08ae5b54\/facts-and-figures-2024-executive-summary.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">66% of caregivers<\/a> report difficulty finding resources and support for their own needs even after a loved one is in professional care. Another 70% say coordinating care is stressful, and more than half say navigating the healthcare system remains difficult.<\/p><p>A caregiver\u2019s role after a move tends to include:<\/p><ul><li>Staying involved in care planning and medical decisions<\/li><li>Communicating regularly with the care team about changes<\/li><li>Managing family dynamics around the decision and its aftermath<\/li><li>Processing emotions or grief that often surfaces after placement<\/li><\/ul><p>Recognizing that this phase still counts as caregiving is often the first step toward seeking support.<\/p><h2>Where Caregivers Can Turn for Support<\/h2><p>Caregiver resources tend to come from a mix of sources, and most caregivers need more than one. Family and friends can share the load with everyday tasks and check-ins, but professional resources fill gaps that personal relationships often can\u2019t.<\/p><p>A few resources worth knowing about:<\/p><ul><li>Local <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/HavensAntelopeValley\/upcoming_hosted_events\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">memory care communities<\/a> often include support groups for dementia caregivers<\/li><li>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.alz.org\/help-support\/resources\/helpline\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Alzheimer\u2019s Association\u2019s 24\/7 helpline<\/a> for immediate questions or guidance<\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.alzheimersla.org\/for-families\/resources\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Alzheimer\u2019s Los Angeles<\/a>, which offers counseling and care consultation services<\/li><li>The UCLA Mary S. Easton Center for Alzheimer\u2019s Research and Care, for clinical guidance, research-based resources, and <a href=\"https:\/\/eastonad.ucla.edu\/patient-care\/caregiver-support-groups\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">support groups<\/a><\/li><\/ul><p>Reaching out to more than one of these at once is common, since each covers a different kind of need.<\/p><h2>When Professional Memory Care Becomes Part of the Support System<\/h2><p>Family, friends, and support groups can only carry so much of the weight, especially as dementia progresses and daily supervision becomes harder to manage alone. Professional memory care is its own form of caregiver support, not just a service for the person living with dementia.<\/p><p>A structured memory care setting typically provides:<\/p><ul><li>Trained team members available around the clock for daily needs and well-being checks<\/li><li>Consistent routines that reduce confusion and agitation<\/li><li>Structured, individualized care plans that adjust as needs change<\/li><li>Relief for family caregivers who can no longer manage care alone day to day<\/li><\/ul><p>Choosing professional memory care doesn\u2019t end a caregiver\u2019s involvement. It changes what that involvement looks like day to day.<\/p><h2>Visiting a Loved One in Memory Care<\/h2><p>Visits look different once someone has moved into memory care, and that adjustment period is normal. Frequency matters less than consistency, and shorter, calmer visits often work better than long ones.<\/p><p>A few things to keep in mind before a visit:<\/p><ul><li>Time visits around a loved one\u2019s normal routine, avoiding mealtimes or rest periods<\/li><li>Bring a familiar object, photo, or activity rather than expecting conversation to carry the visit<\/li><li>Expect some visits to go better than others, since that variation is normal<\/li><li>Follow their lead rather than correcting details that don\u2019t match reality<\/li><\/ul><p>Dr. Sandra Petersen, Pegasus Senior Living\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pegasusseniorliving.com\/leadership-team\/dr-sandra-petersen\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">SVP of Health and Wellness<\/a> and creator of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pegasusseniorliving.com\/the-havens-at-antelope-valley\/blog\/2023\/07\/28\/how-to-slow-alzheimers-memory-care\/\">Connections program<\/a>, has spent years focusing on dementia communication, and her guidance helps caregivers connect more effectively.<\/p><p>A few of her recommendations:<\/p><ul><li>Get to eye level rather than standing over someone who is seated, since depth perception often declines<\/li><li>Use a person\u2019s preferred name and title rather than terms like honey or sweetheart<\/li><li>Keep interactions to under 20 or 30 minutes and limit questions to just a few at a time<\/li><li>Use gentle touch, like a hand on the shoulder, to communicate care when words are harder to find<\/li><\/ul><p>Support from memory care communities is most importantly about letting families reconnect.<\/p><h2>Support at The Havens at Antelope Valley<\/h2><p>The Havens at Antelope Valley supports families as much as residents.
