It is often a challenge for caregivers to give the appropriate treatment to an adult with an intellectual or developmental disability.
At Compassionate Home Care Partners, we believe that caregivers need to develop the skills necessary to treat these clients with the care and respect they deserve. We’ve outlined the challenges that these individuals face and some tips for caring for a loved one with intellectual or developmental disabilities.
Challenges for Seniors with Cognitive Decline
Some of the biggest challenges that seniors with disabilities often face are:
- lack of access to doctors who are knowledgeable about the disability
- behavioral issues
- communication issues
- physical challenges
- environmental issues
- burn-out for those who are providing care to the individual
Finding Care for Seniors
Older adults with disabilities often have a hard time finding practices and providers that are physically accessible to them. They usually receive less preventative care than other adults and have a high likelihood of other medical conditions stemming from their disability.
At Compassionate Home Care, we believe accessible care for all is the most important goal. We hope to help our clients manage their disabilities and improve their quality of life.
