When a loved one has been diagnosed with dementia, caregivers face difficult choices. Dementia is a progressive condition, and one for which there is no cure. Loved ones and caregivers need to understand the parameters of the condition and what to expect, as well as what is out there in terms of emerging treatments. At South Amboy Adult Day Care Center in Middlesex, New Jersey, a staff of highly trained and specialized nurses treats persons with dementia. Staff helps alleviate the stresses and worries of loved ones, while offering the best possible dementia care in the new Jersey health care system.
Dementia care is by nature multidisciplinary and diverse, because of the diverse needs of the population, and the diverse manifestations of the condition. Some patients deteriorate faster than others, some respond to medications differently, and others have additional physical or psychiatric conditions that may interfere with treatment. It takes a team of qualified professionals to address the multifaceted needs of the patient population. When patients have other issues to address in addition to their memory loss, the nurses will be aware of those needs and see to them accordingly. The nurses at the South Amboy Adult Day Care Center work in a team environment in which decisions are made with the best interests of the client in mind, always.
Dietary needs and stimulating activities are part and parcel of the program at the South Amboy Adult Day Care Center. The Day Care center does not simply rely on pharmaceutical interventions, because truly there is no cure for dementia. Rather, clients need mental activities and social interactions that prevent or mitigate memory loss. Clients also have access to a wide range of health care and social services including daytime transportation assistance to the activities on offer by the Amboy Center and with the Middlesex community.
