Tips to Have Harmony with Alzheimer’s as a Roommate

If you’ve ever had a roommate, which I’m betting you’ve have, then you know the challenges involved. Everything is not peaches and cream, but generally with a little understanding and flexibility we find ways to coexist with these people who don’t always behave the way we would like.

But when Alzheimer’s or another dementia is your roommate, it can take a great deal more skill to cope with its unique set of challenges. Dementia isn’t your typical roommate. This roommate doesn’t listen to reason or change when you politely ask.

To help you maintain a harmonious home when dementia is your roommate, I shared five tips with the readers of Sixty and Me.

These tips include:

  1. Accept
  2. Adapt
  3. Educate
  4. Support
  5. Enrich

You can learn more about each of these tips by reading my full-length article here:
