An
interdisciplinary team at a nursing home is meeting with the wife
of Mr. Jordan, an 87-year-old Alzheimer’s patient. Mrs. Jordan
is concerned that he is not being treated respectfully or with the
appropriate care and concern.
I
appreciate your concerns, Mrs. Jordan. I remember how hard it was
to watch my father’s struggle with Alzheimer’s. You know
we are doing everything we can for your husband. Did you know that
we’ve started a support group for family members of Alzheimer’s
patients? Maybe talking with others who have a loved one suffering
from Alzheimer’s would help.
